If 1.3 million Palestinians from the southern Gaza city are forced into tent camps along the sea ahead of a military offensive, Israel will be closer to its goal of expelling strip's population to Egypt by land and other countries by boat

    Did I read correctly, they plan to build 3 tent camps each one with 25.000 tents. So how is Israel planning to host 1M + refugees in 75.000 tents? And since this is mostly agricultural land, what about sanitation, etc? That’s very rich of Israel!

      Egyptian officials say that Israel expects the camps, which would include medical facilities, to be funded by the US and Arab states.

      So umm israel isn’t hosting shit, it’s situated in foreign land, funded by foreign nation, but planned and caused by them.

      You did not read correctly:

      Israel says it will establish 15 camp villages… Each with 25000 tents

      It would be about 3 to a tent. I doubt any of this is real though unless Israel has half a million tents laying around.

        What state do the Gazans belong to?

        I will always say this: any country that tries to deal with a population it considers undesirable by withholding food, medicine, and potable water is a country committing genocide.

        No.

        They’re part of a global community and have a responsibility to it as well.

        Plus many of them are directly aiding Israel.

    Israel says it will establish 15 camp villages along the coast between Rafah and Gaza City in central Gaza. The areas included are south of Al-Mawasi and Sharm Park. Each camp will be equipped with 25,000 tents.

    that’s 375,000 tents. where did they source that many tents?! sort of amazing really
