More than 300,000 Palestinians have made their way back to northern Gaza following the Israeli retreat from the Netzarim pass. However, initial excitement has been swiftly replaced by despair. Rather than finding homes, many returnees are greeted with nothing but rubble and devastation. The situation is dire as tens of thousands have arrived on just 15 trucks, according to Israeli sources.
Humanitarian Crisis Looms
The deal struck between Hamas and Israel promises only a glimmer of hope — with plans to introduce 60,000 prefabricated homes and 200,000 stores over six weeks. But in a region where 69 percent of buildings are either damaged or completely destroyed, is this enough? In the city of Gaza, the reality is stark: prices for essentials like bread and transportation have skyrocketed, and basic provisions like water have become a challenge amid long queues.
“More than 47,000 people have lost their lives, and still, families are left to choose between shelter and survival.”
As families reunite after a staggering 15 months of separation, the joy is bittersweet; many who chose to stay during the conflict are now facing eviction as displaced residents return. Renting an apartment has become a nightmare — with prices often exceeding 1,000 euros per month, most cannot afford such a steep rate.
Legislation Threatens Refugees
In a shocking turn of events, Gaza is on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe as anti-UNRWA legislation is poised to take effect within 24 hours. This law, which prohibits the UN agency from operating in Israel and East Jerusalem, not only threatens crucial aid but could also devastate the support structure for Palestinians. What will happen when the United States, echoing its prior actions during the Trump administration, withdraws funding?
“The vast majority of food aid in Gaza comes from UNRWA — will they let families starve?”
Trump’s Controversial Plans Resurface
While the weapons may have fallen silent, the nightmare of living conditions persists. Trump’s controversial plans to “clean” the strip are reportedly lingering, with whispers of sending thousands of Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan. Although the president claims he discussed such matters with President Sisi in Egypt, the Egyptian government has firmly denied any diplomatic conversations took place.
Next week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet at the White House, and assurances of “peace” are expected to dominate the discussions. Furthermore, discussions about resettling Gazans in countries like Indonesia and Albania are causing an uproar, particularly after the Albanian Prime Minister was forced to publicly deny any reports of hosting 100,000 refugees.
- Over 300,000 Palestinians have returned to devastation.
- Essential supplies are becoming unattainable.
- New legislation could starve thousands.
- Trump’s plans for Palestinian relocation resurface.
This turmoil is not just a footnote; it is a heavy reminder of failed policies and broken dreams. The question reverberates: when will the world recognize and address the true humanitarian crisis in Gaza?
