We have been talking to Palestinians who had to leave their homes in the al-Mawasi area. Israeli officials say it is a safe place for them to stay.
They say the narrow piece of land on the south of Gaza’s coast is very bad, like a desert, and has too many people.
Reem Abd Rabu lives with 16 other people in one tent. She left her home in northern Gaza with her family in October because the Israeli military said it was not safe to stay there.
She says al-Mawasi is a place with no amenities for people, and thinks it should hold 10,000 people but now has over 100,000.
One of the people in a tent with Reem is Dr. Mona Al Astal. She says their situation is really bad, and many people in the makeshift al-Mawasi communities are getting sick with skin and breathing problems.
“She says people have no water, food, or electricity. They have nothing. ”
“This morning, some people forcefully entered a UNRWA storage to take food. “
