Nearly 1.98 million Palestinians in Gaza—94 percent of the population—require shelter and basic household assistance, according to a report by the Shelter Cluster led by the Norwegian Refugee Council, Middle East Eye reported. The assessment catalogues the scale of housing destruction and displacement across the territory.
The Shelter Cluster report details the acute shortage of adequate housing and essential household items facing Gaza's residents.
