The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has sent an update about the humanitarian situation in Deir el-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, where aid teams and a significant number of displaced people are concentrated.

“People are living in a constant state of unpredictability, not knowing what is going to come next, be it more displacements, more relocations, or a regional escalation,” Hassan Morajea, regional access advisor for the Norwegian Refugee Council, said from Gaza’s Deir el-Balah, Al Jazeera reported. 

NRC estimates that recent relocation orders have reduced the size of Israel’s unilaterally designated “humanitarian zones” in Gaza from 20 percent to 14.5 percent, displacing more than 200,000 people from Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah between July 22 and 28.

At least five people were killed and 16 wounded on Sunday in an Israeli drone attack on tents at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, with a separate attack on a house nearby in the same area killing three.
