Humanitarian Catastrophe in Gaza: Thousands Forced to Live in Tents Among Ruins
Jabalia refugee camp reduced to rubble as displaced families struggle to survive
Thousands of civilians in Gaza, who lost their homes due to the ongoing war, are now forced to live in makeshift tents amid the ruins. The situation is particularly dire in Jabalia refugee camp, which has been almost completely destroyed.
What is life like among the ruins?
- Tents instead of homes. Families have built temporary shelters using scraps of cloth, plastic sheets, and debris from their destroyed houses.
- Severe food and water shortages. Drinking water is available only in limited quantities, and food supplies are nearly depleted. Access to humanitarian aid remains extremely difficult.
- Health risks and disease outbreaks. Due to unsanitary conditions and a lack of medicine, infectious diseases are spreading. Children and the elderly are especially vulnerable.
What kind of help do refugees need?
- International organizations are calling for immediate humanitarian aid deliveries, including water, food, and medical supplies.
- Medical workers stress the urgent need for field hospitals, as many hospitals have been destroyed or are non-operational.
- Displaced civilians demand an end to hostilities and the creation of humanitarian corridors for safe evacuation.
What’s next?
Despite urgent appeals from the international community, the conflict continues, and living conditions in Gaza are worsening. Thousands of displaced people are trapped in a humanitarian catastrophe with no clear path to normalcy.
