Central, Southern Gaza Unable to Absorb More Displaced Families

Central and southern areas of the Gaza Strip have reached full capacity and can no longer accommodate new tents for displaced Palestinians, despite continued waves of people fleeing Gaza City, according to Alqahera News.

Thousands of families remain in Gaza City despite the escalating conflict, while smaller numbers have sought refuge in central areas and in the southern coastal zone of Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis. Al-Mawasi has become heavily overcrowded with makeshift shelters, leaving no space for additional tents.

Observers note that the situation contradicts Israeli claims of providing “safe zones” in the south to host displaced civilians. Conditions in Al-Mawasi and surrounding areas are increasingly dire, with overcrowding compounded by proximity to Israeli military positions in eastern Khan Younis, where artillery fire and sporadic gunshots often reach nearby districts.

The lack of available space in both central and southern Gaza highlights the worsening humanitarian crisis, as families continue to face shortages of food, shelter, and safety while displacement surges across the enclave.

Do you want me to make this more **humanitarian-focused** (with emphasis on civilian suffering and aid needs) or more **conflict-focused** (highlighting military dynamics and Israeli claims)?
