In Gaza, we know why Israel wants to herd us all into one camp our lives are bargaining chips | Nour Abo Aisha
Briefly

After 21 months of conflict, Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz proposed relocating all Palestinians in Gaza to a camp at Rafah. Residents faced continuous displacement due to Israeli ground invasions and military divisions in Gaza. Initially, evacuation leaflets instructed people to move south under the guise of safety, but the south was part of a broader displacement strategy. Checkpoints were established to restrict movement, leading to starvation in the north, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis as many struggled to access food. Fear and devastation defined life amid this prolonged conflict.
The Israeli minister of defence proposed a new initiative to force all Palestinians in Gaza into a camp on the ruins of Rafah, amidst ongoing conflict.
Before the war began, movement between the north and south of Gaza was unrestricted, a contrast that changed drastically due to military checkpoints set by the IDF.

Living under the stress of continuous displacement led to starvation, with markets bare in the north while the south remained stocked, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
