The Israeli aggression and genocidal war led to the forced displacement of citizens from the
north and center of the Gaza Strip to the south, especially to Rafah Governorate, which is now crowded with displaced people and internally displaced people.

The Central Bureau of Statistics announced that the number of citizens residing in Rafah Governorate as of April 22 is estimated at approximately 1.1 million individuals, living in an area of ??63.1 km2, as the population density in Rafah on the eve of the aggression reached 4,360 individuals per km2, now reaching about 50,017 individuals per square kilometre, which constitutes a humanitarian and environmental catastrophe, and enormous pressure on scarce services and the ability to obtain the simplest means of life in light of the aggression.

These displaced people suffer from difficult living and health conditions as a result of the aggression, as the displacement camps lack the most basic necessities of life.
