According to estimates, over 1.93 million Palestinians, or
85 percent of Gaza's population, have been forcibly displaced, with many having
been moved multiple times in search of safety.
Recently, the Israeli occupation issued evacuation orders
for civilians in the Al-Mawasi area and several residential blocks near Salah
Al-Din Road in southern Gaza. These orders encompass an estimated 4.6 square
kilometers, and officials anticipate that they will affect roughly 18,000
people and nine shelters, which will house an unknown number of forcibly
displaced Palestinians.
Approximately 1.4 million
internally displaced persons (IDPs) are currently sheltering in 155 UNRWA facilities across all five
governorates of the Gaza Strip. Additionally, around one million are registered
in 94
UNRWA shelters in southern Gaza.
Rafah has been the principal destination for displaced
people, housing nearly one million people in a densely congested setting.
UNRWA estimates that the number of displaced individuals in
156 UNRWA facilities in Gaza has reached 914,000, including 5,000
pregnant women and over 2,000 people with disabilities, in addition to children,
infants, and individuals with chronic illnesses.
Within UNRWA facilities, there are 670,000 displaced
individuals in 97 facilities in Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balah in
central Gaza,
and 160,000 displaced individuals in 57 facilities in northern Gaza. The
northern region faces challenges in receiving humanitarian aid and assessing
the situation due to limited access.
There are between 70 and 80 displaced people on school
grounds, with around 500 people sharing facilities. They frequently have to
wait for hours to use the restrooms if water is available.
As winter approaches, dozens of shelters housing tens of
thousands of displaced citizens across Gaza have been flooded due to rainwater
mixing with sewage water,
affecting classrooms, tents, and homes.
