According to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), as of 2023, the Gaza Strip includes eight refugee camps, the largest of which is Jabalia in the northern part of the Strip, where 116,000 Palestinians are registered as refugees.
Palestinian statistics show that prior to the current war, virtually nobody in any mukhayam in Gaza was actually living in a tent. Prior to October 7, the average housing density in Gaza was 1.7 persons per room; 21.2% of the population lived in a house or a villa while the rest (77.8%) lived in apartments. Most residents (78%) owned their homes or apartments.
In 2021, 100% of Gaza's residents had access to electricity. Daily per capita consumption of water in Gaza was 86.6 liters per day – four liters more than average daily consumption in the West Bank,and in Jordan the average person has access to only 61 liters of water daily.
The following photos show the difference between Jabalia in the Gaza Strip and other "refugee tent camps" in the Middle East.

"The area where the monastery sits was known to the Mosulites as 'Hawi al-Kanisa' in reference to it [having been] a church, hundreds of years ago," Archbishop Najib Mikhael Moussa said.
Since the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, the residents of Mosul have lived in insecurity. In June 2014, the city was taken by the ISIL armed group till July 2017. But even after, Mosulites suffered scattered attacks that added to the feeling of being unsafe. [Ismael Adnan/Al Jazeera]

The decade began with Terric, our main heir, passing the torch to his son Alfred in 1391 as he succumbed to disease. Luckily, the silk business had already been established and the decade saw prosperity for many of our main households. As the families grew, they began to carve out their own spaces in the world of Windenburg. However, a new century has now dawns and the new heirs wonder if this is really the right place for them?

Not going to lie... I love this couple so much. They are very poor and currently live in a single bedroom barn with their two children.

We started the morning with a dog walk, well, first it was a snuggle with the dogs, I let them sleep with me last night, I couldn’t resist, they’re so cute and cuddly! After we got out of bed, it was a walk around the blocks, Bee decided she wasn’t going, so I left her at the house and Ruby and I walked…
1) The tilman award backfired. My own thots: it was revealed harry destroyed information, and had to find them and explain to the judge.
2) What happens next: harry getting tilman award to drown out the court case.
3) Result: ended up backfiring tremendously. Now he has really sullied his name, even for the skeptics. More neg outcome-ve.
I can’t believe he hasn’t declined. If he h a d declined immediately once the backlash started, it wouldn’t have been this mad.
But he let it linger on, and unfortunately for him, Mary Tilman called him undeserving. But, he still has his ardent supporters, so all hope is not lost. Unfortunately, their pr are trying to drag in william, about him preventing h from returning. Yahoo sure likes cover a lot for h, but they like dragging william.
Notice that the markles pr rarely drag charles, or cam, or any other, but they have their sights on william. i am from the states, and it’s what I see..
Conclusion: anyone remember a number line:
Number 1: court case ( -ve ) add (2) tilman award[+ve) , unfortunately, it becomes still negative, and then add, the backfiring(3), which is also negative(-ve).
Result is more negative: this is what happened to harry.
They thot putting out what they thot would be positive for them, would drown the negative effect. Bad mistake
-ve added to positive added to negative = more negative
