Displaced Gazans in Egypt rally through grassroots movements

In Cairo, Egypt, tens of thousands of displaced Gazans are forming grassroots movements to cope with the numerous challenges they face in their new environment. Since October 2023, an estimated 80,000 to 100,000 Palestinians have crossed into Egypt through the Rafah border crossing, fleeing the escalating crisis in Gaza.

Many of these displaced individuals, particularly those without financial resources, are now residing in the suburbs of Cairo, struggling to find shelter, food, and clothing. In response to these dire circumstances, formal and informal associations have sprung up to aid the displaced population.

One prominent initiative is the Network for Palestine, which offers both financial and emotional support to displaced families. Additionally, Abwab Al-Khair assists Palestinian university students and families with rent and basic necessities, highlighting the collaborative efforts to address the immediate needs of the Gazan community.

The sense of community amongst the displaced Gazans in Cairo is palpable. Many volunteers, who themselves are part of the displaced population, actively assist new arrivals. The Pali Boutique, operated by the Network for Palestine, is a notable example, providing donated clothes and shoes to 10 to 14 families daily.

The psychological impact of displacement is profound. Many Gazans, like Aya Akel, recount the trauma of leaving their homes and enduring the war in Gaza. This emotional strain is compounded by the uncertainty of their future and the longing for their homeland.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has publicly stated that the solution to Gaza’s crisis does not lie in Egypt and has rejected the idea of permanently settling displaced Palestinians in the country. Consequently, displaced Gazans in Egypt have become reliant on grassroots organisations and individual support to meet their basic needs.

International aid from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is limited, as it does not operate in Egypt, leaving a gap that private charities and individual efforts strive to fill.

These grassroots movements underscore the resilience and solidarity of the displaced Gazans in Cairo. Despite the immense challenges, they are working together to rebuild their lives with dignity and mutual support, demonstrating remarkable perseverance and community spirit in the face of adversity.
