Gaza- Every morning, new displaced people flock to the piety camp, in Sheikh Radwan neighborhood (West of Gaza City) escaped from the flame of the bombing (north and east) carrying children who are exhausted by hunger, and bags that are almost nothing, they ask for shelter, but the response comes harsh and sad “Sorry, no place … the camp is full.”
The camp director, Hassan Saad, is impotent in front of the tragedy, and says that this shelter center – before the last aggression – was only 70 families, and today there are more than 270, including 170 from the northern sector alone, and he adds to Al -Jazeera Net, “We do not have to close the door with their faces, but where do we put them?”
Some families were forced to establish their tents on the street, on the sidewalks of the roads, or next to the central landfill, from which the unpleasant smells are emitted and threw up to the bodies of animals.
An analysis of the “Sanad” news agency showed that 72% of the area Gaza Strip Dangerous areas were classified as a result of the intense warnings he made occupation army The population has been resuming the war on March 18, 2025.
The evacuation orders reached their climax during the last month, with the start of the process “Gideon vehicles“The Israeli military, which was particularly stationed in the northern Gaza Strip and eastern Gaza City, led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of northern regions, and the neighborhoods of K.Apple And the shyness AndOlive (East Gaza) and parts of a neighborhood Stairs (middle).
Invisible circumstances
It increases the crisis of the “Piety of Piety” center, its presence near the pool of Sheikh Radwan, which was once a rains, and today turned into an open sewage quagmire, after the Gaza municipality stopped withdrawing water due to the escape of fuel and the infrastructure was damaged.
“We live in a spot surrounded by wastewater on the one hand, and garbage on the other hand, and people are trying to survive in the midst of this suffering,” the camp director says.
As for the water, it has become a rare commodity that not everyone gets, and the residents of the camp are lining up on the side of the road, carrying plastic vessels, awaiting the passage of water trucks that may pass or do not pass, and Saad explains, “We do not have fixed dates to obtain water, just wait and hope” and the camp administration provides only 3 thousand liters every 3 days, for cleaning only, where you get from a well belonging to a nearby mosque.
About two kilometers south of Al -Taqwa camp, and on the outskirts Sand neighborhood (West Gaza City) is located in Al -Sabreen camp, which houses 44 families. Like its predecessor, the doors of the camp are performed daily by the displaced people who came in search of a shadow or a roof.
The camp director, Abdul Rahman Saqallah, told Al -Jazeera Net, “Every day, they come to us from east and central Gaza, and from the north as well, but they have no place,” and indicates that the families of the shelter center “included their relatives to their tents, so we see one tent in which 10 or 15 people sleep, we cannot reject them, but we cannot absorb more than that.”
This suffering is exacerbated with the high flames of temperatures these days, so the tents turn into ovens, described by God’s leg by saying, “Whoever enters this tent in the afternoon, is like someone who lives within a boil amount.”
As in the piety camp, the water is the most prominent title of suffering, as the camp relies on a adjacent hospital that gives them one hour of pumping from its own well, barely enough for the displaced for several hours.
Waste is stacked in front of the center and the near tents.
With the absence of public toilets, the residents resort to primitive solutions, as they set up temporary baths inside each tent, using a simple absorption pit, which increased unpleasant smells and deepened the health disaster.
Tight space
In the background of the daily suffering scene, the Gaza municipality stands as an institution that tries to withstand in the face of its capacity, and its president, Yahya al -Sarraj, indicates that the occupation army was destroyed before the resumption of the aggression last March between 70 and 80% of the buildings and infrastructure in the city, and destroyed 70% of the municipal vehicles and cars.
Al -Sarraj adds to Al -Jazeera Net, “In Gaza, nearly one million and 200 thousand people, of whom 400,000 residents of the northern Gaza Strip, are accumulated in less than 40% of the city’s area, after the eastern part of it is completely unavailable, in addition to other parts of the south,” Al -Sarraj added to Al -Jazeera Net.
He continued, “People were forcibly displaced into a narrow tape west of Gaza, bordered by the sea on the one hand, and death from other sides,” noting that the narrow area is currently pushing the displaced to set their tents on the sidewalks and on the seashore.
Regarding the destruction of the eastern neighborhoods of the city, Al -Sarraj said, “We have no accurate estimates because we cannot reach there, but there are areas that have been fully destroyed, and we have information that the occupation army destroys the buildings and transports their rubble without knowing the reason or where, and this is a very dangerous indication.”
He continued, “The destruction is not a military and civil goal, but rather they do not allow residents to return again, they want Gaza to be unprecedented.”
The scarcity of possibilities
The Gaza municipality focuses its work on providing the water it can for the residents and the displaced, knowing that it has only 30% of the working wells, and Al -Sarraj says, “The daily share of the water is estimated at 3 and 5 liters.”
The municipality has succeeded after cease-fire The latter in January, in cooperation with donors, by operating about a thousand private wells belonging to citizens or institutions, partially reduced the crisis, but did not withstand long after the amounts of fuel received during the past month decreased.
Al -Sarraj reveals that all sewage stations are suspended, except for one partially operating, and he adds, “We have to drain the wastewater directly to the sea, although the only outlet for the population this summer, and some people use sea water for hygiene, and this is very dangerous.”
Despite all the obstacles, Al -Sarraj confirms that the municipal teams are trying – with the rest of the possibilities – working amid the destruction, and in this regard he says, “We lost 50 municipal workers during the war, and employees do not receive salaries. However, they did not stop working one day.”
He concludes his speech by launching a distress call to the world, asking for support, especially in the field of opening streets and restoring water wells “so that the municipality can continue to provide services to the population and enhance their steadfastness on their land.”
