Report: Egypt building new displacement camps in Gaza

Saudi-owned Al Arabiya reports that dozens of heavy Egyptian vehicles entered the Gaza Strip starting yesterday and began establishing temporary displacement camps in the center of the Strip.

According to the report, the camps are being set up in an area near the Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.

The move is intended, the report says, “to ease the suffering of displaced Palestinians and prevent their expulsion [outside the Strip].”

The channel further reports that other Egyptian vehicles also entered from Egypt to clear rubble and facilitate movement along roads in the Strip after the extensive destruction caused by the war.

Tens of thousands of Gazans are currently living in tents after their homes were destroyed during the conflict.

It should be noted that as part of Egypt’s plan to end the war, which was presented in early 2025, Egypt sought to establish temporary housing for Gazans inside the Strip itself in order to prevent the displacement of the population outside of Gaza.
