Israel's air and ground offensive against Hamas has displaced 85% of Gaza Strip residents, leaving Palestinians with a sense that nowhere is safe. Israel's campaign is focused on central Gaza, including the urban refugee camps of Bureij, Nuseirat, and Maghazi. The war has killed over 21,300 Palestinians, sparked a humanitarian crisis, and left a quarter of Gaza's population starving. Israel has vowed to dismantle Hamas and bring back over 100 hostages. Around 100,000 people have arrived in Rafah, while strikes continue in central Gaza. The offensive has killed thousands of Palestinians and 168 Israeli soldiers.
