Life in northern Gaza is desperate – there is no water, no electricity and so much rubble that there’s barely enough space to put up tents. Yet many Palestinians are determined to stay and rebuild – even if US President Donald Trump wants them out of the enclave so he can create a Middle Eastern “riviera.

Palestinians, their allies and other nations are reacting strongly to President Donald Trump’s proposal that the United States “take over” the Gaza Strip and permanently resettle its residents.

Family members with loved ones in Gaza as well as activists say they are outraged that U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested that Palestinians should be relocated while the U.S. takes over and redevelops the territory.
