Gaza survivors cling to life in Khan Yunis refugee camps

Over 1.9 million residents of Gaza have been forced to flee their homes since the start of Israel’s relentless bombing campaign over two months ago. In the south of the Gaza Strip, the city of Khan Yunis has become a temporary destination for the millions seeking safety from the bombing. Yet Khan Yunis is no refuge. Makeshift refugee camps without electricity or water now serve as holding pens for countless families on the brink. The trickle of aid that makes it through the blockade of Gaza is totally insufficient to meet the people’s needs. As stockpiles dwindle and prices soar, the problem only intensifies. Gaza’s displaced may have survived the bombing up until now—but now they must survive hunger, thirst, and disease, all while the war extends into Khan Yunis itself.
