| The Egyptian government has started the construction of a camp for displaced people in the south of Gaza from today (January 9), a camp that can have a useful function for both the people of Gaza and the Egyptian government. |
Fars News Agency International Group; In a situation where more than 1.5 million people have been displaced in Gaza following the attacks of the Zionist regime, the Egyptian Red Crescent has started the construction of a refugee camp in the western area of ”Khan Younis” in southern Gaza.
According to Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed website, all the equipment, materials and facilities needed for the construction of this camp arrived in Khan Yunis a few days ago. The Egyptian Red Crescent announced on Wednesday last week that it plans to build a camp in Gaza on the orders of Abdel Fattah al-Sisi
The first organized camp in Gaza
Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed wrote that the mentioned camp is supposed to accommodate 7 thousand displaced people and is the first camp that will provide all the needs of its residents from tents, sanitary facilities, food and water. The decision to build this camp was made by the Egyptian government after the concerns among Cairo authorities about the influx of refugees from Gaza to Egypt intensified.
More than 1.5 million People from the north of Gaza have gone to Khan Yunis and Rafah, and the Israeli army is trying to send more people to Rafah to carry out its military operations more easily. In the meantime, the increase in the number of refugees in Rafah is a big alarm for the Egyptian government. During the past weeks, the population of Rafah has increased to more than 1.2 million people.
Meanwhile, Mahmoud Abul-Atta, the head of aid and equipment in the Palestinian Red Crescent, announced: This Egyptian plan is a It is a great achievement because the Egyptian authorities through the Red Crescent provide all the necessary support including aid and treatment services for the displaced inside the camp in the coming period until the end of the Zionist aggression and as a result of this camp in reducing the humanitarian crisis in The city of Rafah will play a role in the south of the Gaza Strip.
He said: The city of Rafah needs more camps and more tents and providing more support and humanitarian aid to the displaced.
On the other hand, one of the employees of the Egyptian Red Crescent team said: The first stage of the establishment of this camp includes the installation of 300 tents along with providing water and necessary assistance to the displaced and a mobile medical center inside the camp. It is to treat the displaced people and create a land bridge for aid to enter on a daily basis. The first phase includes the creation of tents for 7,000 displaced people, and in the next phase, the camp will expand to welcome more than 20,000 displaced people. Other camps will be established in the west of Rafah and Khan Yunis.
Egypt’s attempt to control the population of displaced people in Gaza, while the Egyptian authorities, especially Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, have emphasized more than once that Any move by Israel to forcibly relocate the people of Gaza to Egypt will be a declaration of war. A similar position has been adopted by Jordan.
In this regard, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi and King Abdullah II of Jordan on Wednesday during a meeting in Cairo on “resolute opposition to the forced migration of Palestinians or displacement” They emphasized “inside Palestine” and demanded an immediate stop to the war.
