Reports from Israeli media indicates that, the city of Eilat in southern Israel is thinking about creating a temporary area with tents to accommodate the many people who have relocated there since the war began.
The mayor of Eilat, which is a vacation spot on the Red Sea, stated that the number of people living in the city has doubled because more than 60,000 individuals who had to leave their homes arrived there.
Until now, they have stayed in 12,000 hotel rooms, 4,000 privately rented places, and special hospitality centers.
Mayor Eli Lankri said that we are considering different options, which may even include setting up a tent city.
We have finished the plans we made last week and we will show them to the people who make the decisions.
The Israeli government says that over 200,000 Israelis have had to leave their homes because of the attack on October 7th. They are leaving because they live near the border with Gaza and Lebanon.
