'Dire conditions': 16,000 displaced people from Rafah crammed into one UN school

May 31, 2024

Tel Aviv [Israel], May 31: A UN-run school in Deir el-Balah is now housing 16,000 people, as overcrowding worsens due to displacement from Rafah.
Families seeking refuge in the school are forced to sleep in its hallways or put up makeshift plastic shelters, said the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA).
"Living conditions are dire, with scarce resources, insufficient sanitation facilities and very limited supplies," said the agency.
More than one million Palestinians have now fled Rafah, previously a designated safe zone for Gaz's displaced. Many have moved to Deir el-Balah or Khan Younis. (Agencies)
