‘This area cannot handle more displaced families’: Displaced Palestinian in al-Mawasi

As intense Israeli attacks target Gaza City, families are being forced to flee south to al-Mawasi, which has long been designated by the Israelis as a “safe zone” but which they have repeatedly attacked.

Ahmed Awad told Al Jazeera that he fled northern Gaza on Saturday as “mortar shells rained down”. “We arrived here at midnight, only to find no water, no toilets, nothing. Families are sleeping in the open. The situation is extremely dire,” Awad said.

Another displaced Palestinian, AbedAllah Aram, also explained that they were facing a “severe shortage” of clean water in al-Mawasi. “Food is scarce, and inside these tents, people are hungry and malnourished. Winter is approaching, and we urgently need new tents. On top of that, this area cannot handle more displaced families,” Aram said.


As Palestinians flee Gaza City, al-Mawasi gets more crowded

Palestinians have been forced to evacuate Gaza City due to the heavy bombardment that Israeli forces have carried out, targeting residential blocks and residential areas.

I am at al-Rashid Road, which connects Gaza City with the southern areas of Gaza.

Some people here are placing their belongings on trucks. Some are in wheelchairs, and even pregnant women and children are moving along this route on foot who cannot afford transportation. When we asked people where they’re going, they tell us they don’t know as the al-Mawasi zone is packed and has no space to set up new tents.

Others have been forced to turn back to Gaza City because of the crowding.

UNRWA says displacement crisis ‘overwhelming’

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) says the growing number of people pushed south by Israel’s invasion of Gaza City is creating dire conditions in cramped displacement camps.

“Thousands of people forced from Gaza City and Jabalia are now in overcrowded shelters, makeshift tents – without clean water, sanitation or safety,” the agency said in a post on X.

“UNRWA continues to provide services, but the crisis is overwhelming.”
