A recent survey published on Friday morning by the British Telegraph, conducted by the Gallup Institute, reveals that over half of Gaza’s population would consider leaving the territory if given the opportunity.
The survey points to several factors driving this sentiment, including electricity and fuel shortages, limited access to water, and concerns about physical safety.
According to the poll, 39 percent of respondents stated they intended to stay in Gaza and had no plans to leave. Meanwhile, 38 percent expressed a desire to temporarily leave but return at some point, and 14 percent indicated they would leave for good—a significant portion, especially given the risks involved in expressing such intentions. The survey included responses from 532 Gazans aged 18 and older.
In parallel, the Egyptian Information Authority issued a statement today denying all reports from various media outlets claiming that Egypt was willing to temporarily house one million Gaza residents in a designated city in northern Sinai as part of a reconstruction effort for Gaza.
The Authority further clarified, stating, “these are false claims that totally contrast Egypt’s firm and principled position to reject any attempt to exile Palestinians, whether by force or voluntarily,” asserting that referring to voluntary emigration as an “attempt to exile” violates the basic human rights of Gazans.
