Families Forced To Shelter In Gaza Landfills

Thousands of displaced Palestinians in Gaza are being forced to seek shelter in landfills and garbage dumps as they flee from Israeli bombardment.
In Deir el-Balah, central Gaza, families have resorted to pitching tents atop a former landfill site, surrounded by toxic waste and sewage.
With nowhere else to go and unable to afford rent, these refugees face dire living conditions amidst piles of rubbish, lacking access to clean water, food, and medical care.
Children are falling ill with diseases like scabies, yet hospitals are overwhelmed and short on medicine. Makeshift camps exemplify the desperate situation for tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza pushed southwards by Israel's military operations, only to find that even so-called "safe zones" are overcrowded or inaccessible.

Palestinians still in northern Gaza are packing up their belongings under the forced evacuation orders. But for many, they can't afford to move and are fearful of being attacked by Israeli forces while trying to find somewhere safe.

Israeli forces have launched a new wave of genocidal attacks in Gaza City, targeting Palestinians near two hospitals.
At least 13 people were killed in the attack near al-Shifa Hospital, one of the few medical facilities still partially functioning in the north.

Elsewhere in Gaza City, another Israeli strike killed at least four people near al-Ahli Hospital.
These attacks are part of a military offensive to seize control of the area.
Earlier the army announced a temporary passageway for Palestinians to leave and head south.
Israeli forces have killed more than 70 people on Wednesday, most of them in Gaza City.
