150,000 Palestinians are forced south as Israel steps up its assault in Gaza amid UN demands for more humanitarian deliveries to the besieged territory
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] 150,000 Palestinians have been forced south as Israel steps up its assault in Gaza amid UN demands for more humanitarian deliveries to the besieged territory.
The consequences of starting a war. Still, given that three quarters of Gaza youth wanted to move away before the war, enjoy the thought of getting that wish in the near future.
Israel's air and ground offensive against Hamas has displaced as much as 85 per cent of the Gaza Strip's 2.3 million residents.

Those seeking shelter from the bombardment have fled to Israeli-designated safe areas, which have also been bombed by the military.

Nearly the entire population is now fully dependent on outside humanitarian aid, Philippe Lazzarini, head of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees said.
And how does this differ from the situation on October 6th?
Drone footage taken on Friday showed a vast camp of thousands of tents and makeshift shacks set up on what had been empty land on Rafah's western outskirts next to U.N. warehouses.
Rafah is the site of the Gaza’s border crossing into Egypt, so y’all are within walking distance of freedom.
Israel's widening Gaza campaign, which has already flattened much of the north, is now focused on the urban refugee camps of Bureij, Nuseirat and Maghazi in central Gaza, where Israeli warplanes and artillery have leveled buildings.

Witnesses say that Israeli tanks have now reached the eastern edge of the Bureij camp, the BBC reports.

People arrived in Rafah in trucks, in carts and on foot. Those who did not find space in the already overwhelmed shelters put up tents on roadsides slick with mud from winter rains.

With the new arrivals, the town and its surrounding area are now packed with some 850,000 people - more than triple the normal population, according to U.N. figures.
