Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced by the Israeli attacks which broke Gaza's ceasefire last month.
As Israel expands its assaults on nearly every part of the Strip, displaced Palestinians are left with nowhere safe to flee to.
And many are living in unsanitary conditions and risking the threat of diseases.

Al Jazeera’s Moath al-Kalhout met families living at a landfill in Gaza City, Palestine.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society says one of their paramedics who went missing last month, is in Israeli detention.
Assad al-Nsasrah was among a group of 15 emergency workers, who were attacked and killed by Israeli forces last month. Their bodies were later found in a mass grave. Nsasrah's whereabouts had been unknown since.

Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh reports from Jordan's capital Amman. She's there as the Israeli government and Palestinian Authority have banned Al Jazeera from reporting inside Israel and the occupied West Bank.

Gaza’s Christians marked Palm Sunday at one of the world’s oldest churches, now a shared sanctuary for believers of both faiths during wartime. The Greek Orthodox church, already damaged in earlier strikes, stands as a symbol of resilience amid relentless bombardment. Worshipers described celebrating holidays in a war-zone, where Israeli attacks have targeted hospitals and places of worship indiscriminately. Despite the violence, the community continues observing traditions, calling for global attention to their plight. Their prayers mixed gratitude for survival with appeals for peace, echoing Christ’s teachings. Both Muslim and Christian neighbors were remembered in services, united by shared danger. The message emphasized faith’s endurance even as war erases distinctions between sacred and civilian spaces.
