AI Summary:
Palestinians say they are crushed by exhaustion and hopelessness at the prospect of fleeing again. Many are packing a few belongings and trudging off in search of new shelters. Ihab Suliman is among the tens of thousands of Palestinians who have fled temporary shelters since Israel shattered a 2-month-old ceasefire on March 18. Every time families have moved during the war, they have had to leave behind belongings and start nearly from scratch, finding food, water and shelter. With no fuel entering, transportation is even more difficult, so many are fleeing with almost nothing. The war in Gaza began with Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel. More than a million people urgently need tents, NRC’s humanitarian access manager says. For now, people are cramming into tents or moving into destroyed buildings. Relocating and reinstalling health and nutrition facilities has been “absolutely draining” for families and humanitarian workers. Noor Abu Mariam said she and her brother and parents have already been displaced 11 times over the course of the war. Now back in Gaza City, she can’t do it again, she said.
