Here's a little detail about the movement of Palestinians in Gaza that no one is reporting.
While it was widely reported that over half a million Gazans moved back to northern Gaza when circumstances allowed, what is not mentioned is that some 45,000 of them - as of February 5 - decided to go back south.
From UN-OCHA:
Since 30 January, SMWG [Site Management Working Group] observed that more than 45,678 people have been moving southwards. The Protection Cluster notes that this is due to the lack of services and the overwhelming destruction of homes and communities in the north, leaving people without viable shelter options. With more than half a million internally displaced persons (IDPs) estimated to have returned to Gaza and North Gaza governorates, the need for food, water, tents and shelter materials in that area remains critical. According to the Shelter Cluster, despite the entry of a large volume of supplies since the ceasefire took effect, priority was given to food during the first two weeks, significantly limiting the entry of shelter assistance.
It is interesting that when Israel set up humanitarian zones they ensured that there would be adequate tents and infrastructure - and yet Israel was blamed when things weren't to the Gazans' liking. But now when the UN and Hamas are in charge of supplies, and they are found inadequate, they simply keep the issues as quiet as possible.
