Hamoda warns of Gaza humanitarian crisis in winter
Dr. Adnan Hamouda, the representative of the Relief Ministry in the Gaza Strip, warned of an imminent humanitarian catastrophe as winter approaches, due to a severe shortage of humanitarian aid and shelter supplies. He emphasized that nearly 90% of the tents are dilapidated, and Gaza needs approximately 400,000 new tents to provide minimal protection for the displaced. He pointed out that upcoming rainfall will worsen the suffering of families residing in unsafe tents, with crowded displaced persons in low-lying areas near the coast and west of the Strip. He forecasted that about 76,000 tents could be flooded. He called for improved access to aid and the redirected movement of displaced persons away from coastal areas. He stressed that the crisis is not only financial but also a result of political decisions blocking the entry of essential materials. He also highlighted the need to support international organizations, especially UNRWA, to address the escalating situation before a full-blown humanitarian disaster occurs.
