Displaced Palestinians live in fear of another wave of forcible displacement: NGO

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has sent an update about the humanitarian situation in Deir el-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, where aid teams and a significant number of displaced people are concentrated, Al Jazeera reports.

“People are living in a constant state of unpredictability, not knowing what is going to come next, be it more displacements, more relocations, or a regional escalation,” Hassan Morajea, regional access advisor for the Norwegian Refugee Council, says from Gaza’s Deir el-Balah.

NRC estimates that recent relocation orders have reduced the size of Israel’s unilaterally designated “humanitarian zones” in Gaza from 20 percent to 14.5 percent, displacing more than 200,000 people from Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah between July 22 and 28.
