The Government of the Gaza Strip, in the handsofHamas, has ensured that the South is already "overpopulated," bearing in mind that Israel's recently announced plans to take control of the Gaza Strip  would require the displacement of more than one million people living in the Gaza Strip. In this regard, it has denounced that Israel says otherwise "to deceive public opinion and to cover up the crime of forced large-scale displacement".

According to Israeli Army spokesman Achivay Adraee, there are "vast deserted areas" south of the Strip, in the central camps and around Mawasi, which the Gaza authorities have denied.

For the Government of the Gaza Strip, these statements are part of a "propaganda campaign"to break the firmness of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the northern Strip.

In this regard, it states that the south and centre of the Gaza Strip are "completelyoverpopulated  ", with 1.25 million forced displaced persons fleeing the incessant bombings in the north and living in makeshift tents without meeting basic needs.

"The occupation of the city of Gaza aims to create a new humanitarian crisis , in addition to the tragedy that has lasted almost 700 days of genocide, "the Gaza Strip Government stressed.
