I find this dubious. Under any reasonable humanitarian perspective, a Gazan would benefit by immigrating to most other countries.

The Arab nations around Israel (with the sort of exception of Jordan) can't even bother allowing 3rd generation Palestinian descendants to naturalize. In some, such as Lebanon, this not only precludes political rights, but results in all sorts of benefit losses relative to what others born and raised in the country would receive.

That's a pretty strong sign of "not caring" from a humanitarian perspective.
