Headline: Gazan Families Seek Shelter Among Graves in Khan Younis Cemetery

Khan Younis, Gaza Strip – November 3, 2025: Months after a ceasefire began on October 10th between Hamas and Israel, dozens of Palestinian families in Gaza are finding refuge in cemeteries, seeking what little safety they can find among the graves. Displaced by the two-year war and with homes destroyed or neighborhoods still occupied by Israeli forces, these families have erected makeshift tents in cemeteries in southern Gaza, including in Khan Younis.

Around 30 families are reportedly living in the Khan Younis cemetery, grappling with the daily challenges of survival amidst the tombstones. They face fear, lack of resources, and concerns over disrespecting the dead. With over 2 million Gazans displaced by the conflict, options are limited.

Mohammed Shmah, one of the cemetery residents, expressed his ongoing fear, even as a grown man. The lack of money to secure alternative housing is a key factor forcing families to remain in the cemetery, says Hanan Shmah, Mohammed’s wife.

The situation remains dire, with families watching new, temporary graves appear alongside their shelters. Despite the ceasefire, life for these displaced Gazans remains unchanged, trapped between a devastating past and an uncertain future. The search for the dead continues throughout Gaza, further highlighting the immense scale of loss suffered during the recent conflict. The UN and other observers have previously reported that Israeli forces have bombed cemeteries during the war. Israel has accused Hamas of using some cemeteries for cover, and has argued that the sites lose their protection when they are used for military purposes.
