Nearly all internally displaced persons have left Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah, according to the United Nations’ agency for Palestinian refugees. As of June 5, only around 100,000 people remain in the area, as reported by UNRWA.
Prior to Israel’s assault on the city on May 6, an estimated 1.2 million displaced Palestinians sought shelter in Rafah after fleeing the fighting elsewhere in Gaza. However, all UNRWA shelters in Rafah have now been vacated.
