 well first of all there are civilians in northern gaza hundreds of thousands of women there's all the civilians that are in southern gaza including the IDPs that basically left the north so I think the majority of Gazans or maybe more than half somehow are in the south many of them are IDPs from the north then you've got the people in the north in the beginning of the war because Israel had asked a million people in the north to leave and the ones that remained behind really had nothing I mean very little services very little food was getting in because borders were closed
