Situation Update
The ongoing and repeated displacement orders are forcing families to relocate multiple times, worsening conditions in already overstretched sites. In Gaza City, the Site management Cluster partners have observed an increased number of displaced families arriving in the multiple Gaza City displacement sites. The increase has stretched overcrowding in displacement sites to a critical level. Many sites are unable to accommodate additional families. Site Management partners conducted joint assessments at Shams, Al-Abrar, and Al-Rahma camps, west of Gaza City, to identify emerging needs following new displacements from eastern Gaza and Jabalia.
The partners report that humanitarian conditions are deteriorating rapidly, marked by widespread hunger, limited access to clean water, and inadequate shelter.
Many families are living in worn-out tents or makeshift structures made from plastic sheets and blankets, offering little protection. Site Management Cluster continues to advocate for urgent need for tarpaulins, tents, mobile toilets.
Additionally, recent military shelling at the Al-Fajr site in Deir al-Balah resulted in casualties and injuries, highlighting the urgent need for protection and emergency response. Food assistance is also urgently required in all the population living in sites, where children make up a significant portion of the population.
Many tents are deteriorating and unsuitable for winter as most of the shelters have been in use for six months to a year and are visibly worn due to prolonged sun exposure and frequent displacement. Some shelters are erected on rubble or partially burned structures, posing safety risks.
