Hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Gaza are threatened by cold and floods

As the fourth winter since the start of the Israeli offensive approaches, hundreds of thousands of displaced people in the Gaza Strip face the dangers of cold and rain, living in dilapidated tents, crumbling buildings, and devastated infrastructure.

UN estimates reveal that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza are living in areas prone to flooding, and their needs are exacerbated by limited shelter supplies and drainage equipment, and fears that the rains will arrive before humanitarian aid can reach them.
