Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are facing displacement due to Israel’s ongoing offensive against Hamas. As the conflict enters its fourth month, Israel’s military is urging residents to leave areas it deems unsafe, leading to a concentration of people in a shrinking section of the strip. According to the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, the available land for Gaza’s 2.2 million residents has diminished to an area slightly larger than the Bronx. Concerns are growing as displaced individuals struggle to find safe havens amid the ongoing hostilities.
