“Every night, we go to sleep not knowing if we will wake up alive,” says one resident. The Israeli military announced that over 250,000 people have left Gaza City since October 2023. This represents a substantial loss of life and a significant reduction in Gaza’s population. The IDF stated that many residents have relocated to safer areas within the Gaza Strip, following the ongoing conflict. The departure is attributed to security concerns and the ongoing destruction and instability within the region. The IDF continues to assess the situation and provide updates on the number of refugees and displaced individuals.
