STORYLINE:
Displaced people in Al Muwasi, in the southern Gaza Strip, lined up on Friday at a soup kitchen to collect a pot of cooked rice, that for some, represents the only hot meal they have during the day.

In Gaza, more than 3 months into the truce, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians still languish in displacement camps, sheltering in tents and war-ravaged buildings, unable to protect them from the chilly nighttime temperatures and struggling to get proper food.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump claimed that “record levels” of humanitarian aid had entered Gaza since the October start of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal, but while aid flow into the territory has significantly increased since the ceasefire, many Palestinians still struggle to receive aid and buy food including meat and other products which prices most of the people can’t afford.

United Nations partners managing displacement camps say they now are able to provide support to about 40% of the existing 970 sites across the Gaza Strip because of capacity and funding constraints, U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said Thursday.

Meanwhile fuel and firewood are in short supply, prices are exorbitant and searching for firewood is dangerous.
Two 13-year-old boys were shot and killed by Israeli forces on Wednesday as they tried to collect firewood, hospital officials said.

Displacement is one of the key drivers behind the food insecurity, with more than 70% of Gaza’s population living in makeshift shelters and relying on assistance. Other factors such as poor hygiene and sanitation as well as restricted access to food are also exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.

Despite the announcement on Thursday of the possible opening of Rafah crossing, in the border with Egypt and the only point limiting Gaza with a country different from Israel, the expectations are low among Palestinians living in the rubble of the war torn territory for over two years.

“The suffering is the same, the hunger is the same, and the disease is still there. Nothing has changed. Things have gone from bad to worse” said Hind Hijazi, a displaced from Rafah now living in Muwasi, Khan Younis.

Aid groups said despite an increase of assistance, aid still isn’t reaching everyone in need after suffering two years of war.

People must be able to rebuild their homes, grow food and recover and the conditions for that are still being denied, Oxfam said last month.
