More than half of the people of Gaza Strip are crowded in the city of Rafah
1.4 million Palestinians from all areas of Gaza Strip were displaced to Rafah. The city, whose area does not exceed 32 square kilometers, today includes more than half of the Strip’s 2.4 million people, as Rafah streets and squares were crowded with displaced people who did not even find tents to shelter them and were living in the open.
A displaced person from the Khuza’a area, east of Khan Yunis in the south of Gaza Strip, said: Rafah is living in catastrophic conditions. There are no tents to shelter the displaced in the light of the cold and rain, no food supplies and no potable water. Hundreds of thousands of displaced people have taken refuge in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Rafah so as to escape the intense occupation bombing of the city whose hospitals collapsed in the light of the large numbers of displaced people who are still flocking to it.
A resident of Al-Maghazi camp in the middle of the Gaza Strip, affirms that the humanitarian scene in Rafah is horrific, saying: At night, all you hear is the sound of bombing, explosions, and ambulances that do not stop searching for the martyrs.

Another refugee narrates the tragedy of the wounded displaced people, saying: My brother, his wife, and his children were martyred in a bombing that targeted us inside an UNRWA shelter center. As for me, I sustained injuries that made me unable to feel anything.
