One and a half million civilians who took shelter in Rafah, which Israel continues to bomb despite having declared it safe, are trying to hold on to life under difficult conditions. In addition to the fear that the attacks elicit, the Palestinians in the area are suffering from being deprived of many things, such as clean water, food, and blankets, which cannot be provided to them due to the attacks disrupting the delivery.
“We are suffering from a shortage of clean water, and blankets are not enough. Tents are not suitable for living because they drip rainwater. I’m so cold,” Akram Hamdouna said.
According to the United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund, there are 600,000 children trying to survive the camp’s harsh conditions.
