DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel’s offensive in Rafah has sent nearly a million Palestinians fleeing the southern Gaza city over the past three weeks. Most have been displaced multiple times already during Israel’s nearly 8-month-old war with Hamas in Gaza. The amount of humanitarian aid arrivals are plummeting, and Palestinians have largely been on their own to resettle their families and find the basics of life. Their tent camps stretch for miles along Gaza’s coast, where families search for food and wood. A schoolteacher living with his family in a tent says they have nothing and it’s destroying them psychologically.
