Photos: UNRWA camp in Gaza stirs painful memories of the Nakba

An eerie image has emerged in recent days in a sandy industrial zone in the southern Gaza Strip.

Hundreds of tents have been set up in Khan Younis, aligned in neat rows, for the thousands of recently displaced Palestinians who have fled the indiscriminate Israeli bombardment over their homes in the northern Gaza Strip.

According to the United Nations, at least one million Palestinians in the besieged coastal territory – half of the total population – have been displaced over the past two weeks.

Belgium pledges $23m to UNRWA after US aid cut

Deputy Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said in a statement on Wednesday that Brussels would allocate the funds over three years.
