Wadi as-Salqa (Template:Langx is a Palestinian agricultural town in the Deir al-Balah Governorate, located south of Deir al-Balah. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the municipality had a population of 6,715 in 2017.[1] The area is known to have a high flood risk.[2][3]

Over half of the inhabitants are below the age of 18.[4] Due to the economic sanctions on the Gaza Strip following Hamas' victory in the Palestinian National Authority's legislative elections in 2006, about 85% of Wadi as-Salqa's population lived under the poverty line.[5]

During the Israel-Hamas war, 4,000 displaced families sought refuge in the area, establishing a tent camp.[6]
