Action Aid: 75% of the citizens of the Gaza Strip have been displaced from their homes since the start of the aggression.

ActionAid International said that more than 75% of the 2.2 million citizens of the Gaza Strip have been displaced from their homes since the start of the Israeli aggression on October 7th.


The organization explained in a statement issued today, Thursday, on the occasion of the Nakba anniversary, that most citizens had to be displaced several times amid very dangerous conditions with no hope of finding any safe place to live.


It pointed out that citizens in the Gaza Strip are facing a new wave of displacement after Israel issued evacuation orders for parts of Rafah, which is inhabited by more than a million people, as more than 450,000 citizens were displaced from the city, according to UNRWA, and yet there is no safe place to go. There is no space, resources or infrastructure available to accommodate them.


The organization pointed out that about 4,000 citizens in the West Bank were forced to flee their homes last year, due to settler violence, movement restrictions, and demolitions.
