In May, Israel urged Palestinians in Rafah, a southern city in Gaza, to evacuate and move to the expanded humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi, west of Rafah. This move was part of Israel's preparation for a ground attack on the city.
According to the United Nations, nearly half a million Palestinians have fled Rafah since the evacuation call. Many have faced multiple displacements, leaving them in a state of constant uncertainty.
What is life like for those who have evacuated? We spoke with Enas Abdel Ghaffar, a resident who set up a tent in Al-Mawasi with her family. \"To be honest, life here is simply not 'life,'\" she confessed. Enas's youngest son is battling fever and diarrhea caused by sunstroke, and the family is struggling with a severe shortage of electricity and water.
The humanitarian crisis in Rafah highlights the immense challenges faced by displaced families, as they navigate harsh living conditions and an uncertain future.
