The U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) estimates that the city’s population has grown to at least 1.4 million, more than five times its prewar count, with thousands of people sleeping in tents with little protection.
That’s nearly 3/4ths of the whole population of the Gaza Strip at this point.
They’re going to force them into Egypt, that was always the plan. It was obvious from the moment they told Gazans to evacuate the north.
