83 percent of Rafah's displaced population has no access to food: Norwegian Refugee Council
28 June 2024 07:41 BST
The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) surveyed over 1,000 Palestinian families displaced from Rafah following Israel's military operations in the area.
The survey found:
- 83 percent reported no access to food.
- 52 percent had no access to a dignified shelter.
- On average, nine people stayed in the same shelter.
- 57 percent lacked access to safe water.
- Almost everyone had no access to adequate latrine facilities.
Palestinians in Gaza are experiencing famine like conditions: wasting among children; people cooking meals out of tree leaves or animal fodder; families completely without food; only unsafe water available.
