Nearly 80 percent of Gaza residents are interested in emigrating from the territory, according to a recent survey shared with senior Israeli officials. The findings reflect deep frustration among civilians as reconstruction remains uncertain and the governing militant group continues to refuse disarmament.

When asked what topics they wanted more information about, almost 80 percent of respondents said they sought details on relocation options to third countries through the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings. Far fewer expressed interest in food aid or medical assistance, suggesting that many residents are primarily focused on leaving rather than on short term humanitarian concerns.

Since the war began after the October 7 attacks, more than 44,000 Gazans have exited through designated crossings, including medical patients and visa holders. Israeli officials believe the true number of those wishing to leave may be even higher.

Meanwhile, Israeli authorities reported facilitating the entry of 30,000 humanitarian aid trucks in recent days, along with significant shipments of medical supplies and fuel, and assisting medical evacuations to Jordan.
