Palestinians who were forced to flee Gaza City amid Israel’s offensive described “inhuman conditions” Wednesday in areas the Israeli military ordered them to move to in central and southern Gaza.

Many said that the shelters were not equipped to host the growing number of displaced people, and food and water were scarce in these areas.

“We came here to find more suffering,” said Maziouna al-Kafranah, a displaced woman from the northern town of Beit Hanoun.

"They didn't give us tents, and we don't have tarp. They haven't given us anything," she said.

Al-Kafranah, who fled her shelter in Gaza City earlier this month, lashed out at the international community, saying, "no one cares about us, not countries not people. They all get to eat and drink, while we are the afflicted over here."

She is concerned that their living conditions are unlikely to improve as winter approaches.

Um Youssef Marouf was displaced eight times since she and her family were forced to flee their home in the northern town of Beit Lahiya on October 7, 2023.

Marouf, who suffers from hepatitis, said she built a makeshift oven to bake bread for other displaced people to feed her family.

"Our lives are about hardship and suffering. There is no safety and no stability,” she said, sitting in front of her oven and baking bread.

"We struggle in this bitter life that God has decreed on the people, as you can see, to get our daily bread," she added.

The displaced have to walk at least one kilometer outside the camp to reach a source of drinking water, which is not enough for the growing number of arrivals.

“There is no water, no food,” Raeda Elian, a 53-year-old woman, said, adding that they are tired after nearly two-years of war.

"They have neither killed us nor have they given us relief. It's all for nothing," she said.

The world’s leading authority on hunger crises said last month that Israel’s blockade and ongoing offensive had already pushed Gaza City into famine. More than 300,000 people have fled the city in recent weeks as Israel has ordered the population to move south, but an estimated 700,000 remain, according to U.N. agencies and aid groups.
