01:22

Thousands of people who have lost their jobs in Gaza or Israel and can't return due to the ongoing conflict in the area, and so are taking shelter in the West Bank. In order to provide them with shelter and food, the Palestinian government has set up many temporary relief centers. A stadium in Ramallah is already filled with around 700 displaced Gaza people, and so many have to sleep outside the facility.

According to a report released by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East on October 27, nearly 640,000 internally displaced people are sheltering in the agency's 150 facilities in Gaza.
