According to a UNFPA report relayed by Haaretz, conversations with 230 women at displacement sites in Gaza City and Khan Yunis document domestic violence, sexual exploitation and a rise in child marriage. Haaretz's headline describes rape, sexual abuse and forced marriage faced by displaced women in Gaza, attributing this to a UN report.

Sources disagree on:

• Claims [1] (Inkstick Media, on families sleeping in buildings that could collapse) and [3] (The New Arab, on the Gaza water crisis and sewage-linked disease) report different topics and do not address the UNFPA report, so they do not corroborate this event and appear to be mis-clustered.
• Place wording differs in specificity: the Haaretz and Google News items say Gaza Strip generally, while the UNFPA item names Gaza City and Khan Yunis. This is not a direct conflict but should be kept in mind when placing the event on the map.
