Gaza’s humanitarian crisis remains deeply challenging, as the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) reports that around 1.8 million Palestinians—86% of Gaza’s population—are living in displacement sites, many under severely inadequate conditions.
The DRC says families face shortages of clean water, sanitation, healthcare and safe shelter, while alleging that the “Yellow Line” is expanding westward, further restricting access to areas where displaced people hope to return.
The findings, based on discussions with 195 people across five Gaza governorates, were reported by DW on October 1. Israel had not commented on the newly released DRC report at publication time.
