Elderly in Gaza endure
Displaced older people in the Gaza Strip face harsh conditions in tents lacking food, medicine and medical care. Displacement and the loss of family members and homes are also worsening their chronic illnesses and psychological distress. Data indicate that around 79% have been displaced more than three times since October 2023. Older people make up nearly 5% of the Strip’s population—about 109,000 people—and 76% of them suffer from chronic illnesses. Many are forced to skip meals or do strenuous work to obtain water and food, while overcrowded tents, cold weather and a lack of privacy further worsen their living conditions.
