Today (Thursday), the first tent camp for Palestinians displaced by the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Strip since October 7 was established in Gaza City.

The tent camp was set up under the auspices of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) at the industrial training station in central Gaza City.

Staff wearing UN agency uniforms arrange and organize work in the camp.

UNRWA officials refused to talk to the media about these developments.

An UNRWA employee, who declined to give his name, told Xinhua News Agency that dozens of families who refuse to leave the city have taken refuge in the place with all their members, indicating that the place does not contain the necessities of life and they are sleeping on the ground. The agency had to bring tents for them, and we are now taking care of them.

A number of displaced people said that they are living on scarce aid provided by UNRWA, without any health facilities, and amidst piles of garbage in the camp.

They said, "They left their homes with nothing after they were destroyed by Israeli raids. We refuse to leave Gaza to the south of the Strip, and we will not leave."

More than a million Palestinians were displaced in the Gaza Strip, including 600,000 displaced people in the Gaza and northern Gaza Strip regions after they were warned by the Israeli army to evacuate their residential areas a few days ago, according to a statement issued by UNRWA a few days ago.

According to the Ministry of Public Works and Housing in Gaza, the Israeli attacks completely destroyed at least 4,821 residential buildings, including 12,845,000 housing units, while about 121,000 housing units were partially damaged, including 9,000 housing units that were uninhabitable.

On the other hand, the government media office run by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in Gaza announced in a statement the killing of the commander of the National Security Forces at the Ministry of Interior in the Strip, Major General Jihad Abd Muheisen.

The media office stated that Muhaisen (53 years old) and a number of his family members died in a direct bombardment by Israeli aircraft on his house in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City.
3,785 Palestinians were killed and 12,493 others were injured as a result of Israel's attacks on the Gaza Strip, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, since the Hamas movement launched an unprecedented attack on southern Israel on October 7, killing 1,300 people.
