Parts of Gaza were refugee camps to begin with. That placed additional stress on the local population as a influx of angry, confused young men expecting a life in the family farm or at the family business are in a new place with little chance of employment outside of the little work they might be able to beg or cobble together.

You want to know what causes terrorism and criminal cartels?
It's not just the greedy, hateful old men with a political axe to grind who fund "movements" or equally greedy, amoral young men who want to live like kings.

It's the surplus of young people with few options for a stable, fulfilling future, who are watching their families being treated like animals who can easily be bought by pennies or promise of heaven convinced that "service" against the enemies of those greedy men with money will help their families to survive.
