"Heavy winter rains and strong winds have brought new dangers to displaced Palestinians in a Gaza devastated by Israel. Severe weather conditions are bringing further misery to displaced Palestinians in Gaza, who have already suffered relentless bombardment, siege and loss in Israel's genocidal war for more than two years, as Israel continues to block critical shelter and aid supplies into the territory."
"Flimsy tents were flooded and makeshift camps engulfed in mud on Monday following heavy winter rains lashing the enclave in recent days. The harsh conditions have added to the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza, most of whom are reduced to sheltering in tents and other makeshift structures since Israel's war destroyed an estimated 80 percent of the buildings there. Officials are warning that severe conditions also bring new dangers,"
Heavy winter rains and strong winds have flooded flimsy tents and turned makeshift camps into deep mud, compounding the crisis for displaced Palestinians in Gaza. Most people shelter in tents and other makeshift structures after an estimated 80 percent of buildings were destroyed in the war. Israel continues to block critical shelter and aid supplies into the territory, limiting relief options. Overwhelmed and damaged sewage systems are contaminating floodwaters, raising disease and illness risks, while damaged buildings risk collapsing. At least 15 people, including three babies, have died this month from hypothermia; movement is impeded by deep puddles and thick mud.
