A dozen men from Gaza are living in a former changing room under the bleachers of a West Bank stadium, blocked from returning home by the war. The men have taken shelter in the converted space as they remain unable to cross back into Gaza. Their situation reflects the broader movement restrictions that have left many Gazans stranded in the West Bank since the conflict intensified.
The Palestinian Authority's labour ministry said it provided cash assistance to 4,605 Gazans in March. That aid was part of efforts to support those displaced or unable to work because of the war.
@AFP reported the details of their living arrangement and the barriers preventing their return. No further details on the men's specific circumstances or plans for eventual return were disclosed. The cash assistance figure from the labour ministry stands as the only quantified support measure mentioned for Gazans in the West Bank during that period.
