The number of displaced Palestinians who arrived in the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip has reached about one million, since the start of the aggression in October.

“Rafah Governorate has now become the main refuge for displaced people, with more than a million people living in a very crowded area, following the intensification of hostilities in Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balah, and evacuation orders issued by the Israeli army.”the UN added in its daily humanitarian report.

The number of displaced people in Gaza ,by the end of 2023, is estimated at 1.9 million people, including some who have been displaced multiple times, as families are forced to frequently move in the Strip in search of safety, according to UNRWA.
