Mona Chalabi Instagram – 75 days compared to 75 years About 1.9 million people in Gaza have been displaced since October 7 (that’s over 85% of the total population). But this conflict didn’t start on October 7. Most Gazans were already refugees – 1.7 million of them had been pushed out of their homes and villages *before* October. Now, they’re refugees for the second time (at least). Source: United Nations, 2023 (note that this is probably an underestimate. Not everyone registers with the United Nations as a refugee, so the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics has a higher total number of 6.4 million)
