Video. Gaza: the very difficult daily life of refugees in the displaced camps

Born from the 1948 exodus, the few refugee camps that extend across the enclave shelter hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Living conditions in these camps for displaced people are very harsh.

In the Palestinian enclave, nearly 1.7 million residents have refugee status, according to figures from the United Nations agency responsible for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA). That is to say around 80% of the 2.1 million people who live in the territory. An overwhelming majority, leading hundreds of thousands of people to crowd into the eight refugee camps in the Palestinian enclave.

Gazans settle as best they can, wherever they can. Tents are a rare commodity and their prices are skyrocketing on the black market: 600 euros. Unaffordable for the majority of Gazans. The same goes for foodstuffs, the prices of which have increased on average by 3 or 5.
