Gaza Faces Severe Winter Challenges
As winter approaches, hundreds of thousands of displaced people in the Gaza Strip face significant risks of their worn-out tents being flooded with water and exposed to the cold, due to a severe shortage of shelter supplies and delays in the entry of necessary humanitarian aid materials. The tents made of nylon and fabrics are suffering from severe deterioration, rendering them unable to provide protection from rain and wind, which worsens the suffering of the residents, especially with the increasing likelihood of heavy rainfall and water leakage. The displaced, numbering over a million people, are plagued by poor infrastructure, with approximately 510,000 displaced families, more than a million individuals, living in inadequate shelters or unusable tents. This situation threatens their lives and safety during the winter. Humanitarian agencies are calling for permission to allow the entry of shelter materials that have been outside the Gaza Strip for months, in order to ensure quick and appropriate shelter that protects families from the danger of rain and strong winds, and to reduce the risk of disasters caused by harsh winter conditions.
