Her province Rafa has become its most densely populated area Gaza Strip, with hundreds of thousands of internally displaced people crowded into suffocating spaces, living in appalling living conditions, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported.
The vast majority of the Palestinian enclave’s 2.3 million residents have been forced to flee their homes since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas. At the southern end of the region, Rafah, on the border with Egypt, which is closed to residents, has been turned into a giant displaced persons camp, with makeshift tents.
“Population density is estimated to now exceed 12,000 people per square kilometer, a fourfold increase [σε σχέση με την περίοδο] before escalation,” the UN agency said.
“Thousands of people line up in front of aid distribution centres, seeking food, water, shelter and protection, while there are no latrines and adequate water and sanitation facilities in informal displaced persons’ facilities and makeshift shelters,” he added.
