People?were?displaced?overnight in Beit Lahia area of North?Gaza?governorate, according to humanitarian partners who received calls for help.

Around midnight, about 30 households reportedly fled when tanks advanced towards Al Atatra Junction. Reportedly, a quadcopter dropped incendiary munition that set three tents ablaze. While most families could return after the troops withdrew, six households remained displaced because a yellow cement block was installed near their places of residence.

Setting up?such blocks signals the?expansion?into populated areas?of the so-called “Yellow Line”,?where, according to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human?Rights, lethal force has often been used.

Humanitarian partners are supporting families that are newly displaced or have otherwise lost their belongings. Last week, partners responded to alerts that affected 135 households. After rapidly assessing individual needs, they provided people with tents, blankets, hygiene and dignity kits, jerrycans and tarpaulins through a Rapid Joint Distribution Mechanism.

Last week, most of the newly affected families were impacted by strikes. Dozens of other families were displaced from areas along the so-called “Yellow Line” following the advancement of Israeli forces and the placement of yellow cement blocks. A smaller number of people received help following domestic fires or flooding.

The vast majority?of Gaza’s 2.1 million people?remain?displaced, and partners are also responding to that ongoing displacement. However,?they?warn that longer-lasting?shelter?requires?approvals to bring in construction materials and equipment to remove rubble and clear explosive ordnance.
