An evacuation order by the Israeli military this week covering roughly a third of the Gaza Strip came as people there are less and less equipped to handle repeated forced displacements, after nearly nine months of war that have left tens of thousands dead and injured and put the territory at risk of famine.
“People express here that they are losing hope, they are losing the willpower, faced with another forced displacement and absolutely no certainty of safety.”and Rafah on Monday , and by Tuesday thousands of people had begun to flee. The order was followed by a night of heavy bombardment in areas of southern and central Gaza.
“People are left with the impossible choice of having to relocate, some most likely for the second or even the third time, to areas that have barely any spaces or services, or staying in areas where they know heavy fighting will take place,” he said.The order covers more than 90 school buildings, many of which have turned into overcrowded shelters as people run out of places to stay, along with four medical facilities, Dujarric said.
“In terms of people’s ability to move, it’s been eight months of war, people are extremely fatigued, they’re exhausted, they’re malnourished,” Wateridge said. Healthwise, she said, “people are a lot weaker, there are more injuries, there’s been less medicine available, less fresh fruit, less water.”Loading
