Gazans Face Deadly Winter
The low-pressure weather system and heavy rain in the Gaza Strip flooded around 70,000 tents within 12 hours, caused walls to collapse and damaged buildings at risk of collapse. Civil Defense received 1,500 distress calls. The Government Media Office put initial losses at around $3 million, as hundreds of thousands of displaced people face shortages of shelter and heating, along with the risks of flooding and disease. The Ministry of Social Development says the Strip needs around 300,000 tents and 400,000 tarpaulins, while local authorities have called for aid, mobile homes, equipment and fuel to be brought in urgently.
