Gaza Development Alerts Disaster Risks
The Ministry of Social Development in Gaza has warned of a worsening humanitarian situation as winter approaches. Around 300,000 displaced families face the risk of rain and cold due to the deterioration of their tents and their exposure to damage after two years of use, with 85% of residential units destroyed. The ministry confirmed that reliance on tents has increased because most homes have been destroyed, and that heavy rain and wind could cause flooding of camps, worsen health and environmental conditions, and lead to a rise in the number of displaced families. It also emphasized that the lack of international funding, totaling $186.7 million, and restrictions on the entry of shelter materials, increase the risks faced by displaced people. The ministry called for enabling the entry of 200,000 tents and 300,000 shelter aid packages to protect families from the harsh winter conditions.
