Jerusalem.- A woman and her young son died this Thursday in a fire that broke out in tent camps housing displaced people in the center of the Gaza Strip, the Civil Defense of the Palestinian enclave reported.
In a statement, this emergency service indicates that they recovered the bodies of these two people and that another resident in the tents was rescued with burns.

"Authorities continue to investigate the details and circumstances of the incident," the note says.
At least one million people (half of Gaza's population) live displaced in 800 camps set up along the Strip, according to calculations made at the end of October by the Shelter Cluster (CCCM, in English acronym, endorsed by the UN). Others reside inside buildings hit by the Israeli offensive, in many cases without walls and at risk of collapse.
And it is that around 80% of all structures in Gaza have been damaged by the two years of Israeli offensive, according to UN data from November based on satellite images, which has left the vast majority of the population homeless.
