Many displaced Gazans are living "in the open, in the parks," Juliette Touma of the UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, has told the BBC.

According to the UN's humanitarian office (OCHA), at least 100,000 people have fled to Rafah - which borders Egypt in Gaza's south - in recent days.

UNRWA's Ms Touma said the UN was being authorised to bring in "limited assistance".

But Gaza's humanitarian needs, she said, "have massively grown".

She said UNRWA continued to face "restrictions to access areas in the Gaza Strip where we should access".

Our Western leaders are also actively letting thousands of people lose their homes and live in parks. This observation isn't as impactful as it should be.

This is true. We can bail out banks and big corporations, but not families. Ludicrous.

Everyone deserves a home.

Depressing that someone downvoted you for any part of that.

Crazy to know that millions of Ukrainians are refugees in America & Europe yet there is no desire for neighboring countries to offer any refugee options for Palestinians. Guess none of their neighbors want to risk a repeat of Lebanon & Kuwait.
