The Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza: Displacement, Violence, and Depleted Resources

After more than a month of continuous and violent bombardment of the Gaza Strip, hundreds of thousands of families were forced to flee south and adapt to new living conditions. From methods of communication and transportation to cooking and purchasing their daily needs, nothing remained the same amid the bombing.

After the war changed the course of life in Gaza, walking or riding horse-drawn carts became the method that Palestinians depend on to travel to meet their needs in the southern Gaza Strip, after the transportation movement was paralyzed due to the depletion of fuel and Israel’s prevention of supplying it to the Strip.

With the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Gaza City residents towards the southern regions, causing food stocks to run out in its markets and prices to rise, the sight of empty shelves in its largest commercial centers has become a reality, and supplying a few of the scarce and rare goods and merchandise is a daily occurrence.

While speaking to Sky News Arabia, one of the citizens said that she went shopping more than once, but she was unable to buy either because the product she was looking for had run out or the price of what was left in the stores had increased.

A miserable humanitarian reality has forced the residents of southern Gaza and the displaced to use primitive means, such as cooking on firewood, while cooking gas has also run out. This is what Tabakh confirmed while speaking to Sky News Arabia, where he said: After the complete gas outage in the Gaza Strip, we turned to firewood, which in turn began to run out as well.

According to United Nations estimates, food stocks in Gaza stores will run out within the next few days. The longer the war in Gaza continues, the more basic necessities of life will gradually disappear, and the humanitarian crisis there will become more complex with the continued Israeli emphasis on closing the crossings and preventing the supply of goods and goods from arriving within the Strip.

On the other hand, the International Committee of the Red Cross announced that a humanitarian aid convoy came under fire in Gaza City on Tuesday, adding that two trucks were damaged, while one of the drivers was injured.

The committee explained that the convoy included two vehicles and five trucks, carrying medical supplies to health facilities, adding that the convoy changed its route when it was fired upon, to deliver medical supplies to Al-Shifa Hospital.

Israeli raids on Gaza

On the ground, the Palestinian News Agency reported that Israeli aircraft renewed their bombing at dawn today on the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, which led to the death and injury of a number of citizens.

Others were killed and injured in Israeli raids near the Indonesian Hospital, and in the areas of Jabalia, Beit Lahia, and the Shujaiya neighborhood.

The Hamas movement announced that dozens of people were killed or wounded in an Israeli bombing that targeted a house in the Deir al-Balah area in the central Gaza Strip.

Hamas medical sources revealed that the total number of deaths from the Israeli raids on Gaza had risen to more than ten thousand and three hundred people.

A number of Palestinians were also killed and others injured on Tuesday evening in Israeli raids that targeted various parts of the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian News Agency reported that two dead and a number of wounded arrived at the Indonesian Hospital, as a result of Israeli aircraft bombing a house in Jabalia, north of Gaza.

Also, 15 dead people and a number of wounded arrived at Al-Shifa Medical Complex, who were killed in raids launched by Israeli aircraft on the Al-Shuja’iya and Al-Zaytoun neighborhoods, east of Gaza, on the homes of the Al-Sharbasi, Al-Sousi, Marish, and Al-Ghamri families.

In a new death toll among the Israeli army, the army announced the killing of 35 Israeli soldiers since the start of the ground operation in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli army spokesman confirmed that the number of deaths since the start of the war on October 7 had reached 348 Israeli soldiers, in addition to 59 policemen and ten members of the Shin Bet.

The Israeli army also announced, on Wednesday, the killing of Major General Yaakov Ozeri (28 years old) and the serious wounding of three others in last night’s battles north of Gaza.
