Gaza's Displaced Population Endures Desperate Conditions Amidst Israeli Bombings

Almost 1.9 million people, or 85% of Gaza's population, remain displaced and in harm's way, with nearly half crammed into the southernmost governorate of Rafah. Israeli authorities have cut off basic services and aid supplies, making it difficult for people to find food, water, and medication. The Israeli military's repeated attacks have destroyed or damaged the majority of homes, schools, and hospitals in Gaza, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. The forced displacement of civilians is a war crime, and the international community should warn against actions that prevent displaced Palestinians from returning home.
