Gaza needs shelters and stocks while hitting winter storms | Israel-Palestine News of Conflict
While winter storms squeeze gauze, a combination of difficult weather, a lack of shelter and a constant blockade of the humanitarian aid of Israel has created an increasingly desperate situation for hundreds of thousands of displaced people.
Cold temperatures, relentless rain and strong winds have transformed improvised shelters into barely living spaces, offering little or no protection against elements.
Israeli delivery restrictions only folded the crisis, leaving many without access to the most basic supplies, including food, medication and heating.
The servants were among the key violations Hamas cited when he announced on Monday that he would delay the release of more Israeli prisoners, initially scheduled for Saturday, unless Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahua had fulfilled the terms of the defect agreement.
International assistance groups and officials have raised alarm about how inconsistent the flow of stocks because of Israeli blocks of the road is worse for humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
“The health system has been ruined. The procedure increases. The risk of hunger lasts, “said Hanan Balkhy, regional director of the Eastern Mediterranean in the World Health Organization.
“We are ready to increase our response, but we urgently need a systematic and permanent approach to the population throughout Gaza, and we need the end of the restriction to enter essential stocks.”
The recent update of the UN Assistant Coordination Office has announced that nearly one million displaced Palestinians live in “sub -resistant tents or makeshift shelters, and the families resorted to sewing old rice bags together for the basic lid”.
Hosni Mahna, a spokesman for the Gaza Municipality, said: “Cold weather has a catastrophic impact on hundreds of thousands of Palestinians living in tents and temporary shelters, especially with a lack of heating and basic supplies to protect against rain and strong winds.”
Families, including young children and older, sleep on cold dirt or cement floors without insulation, increasing the risk of infection and illness. Strong winds separated improvised tents, while heavy rainfall flooded the entire shelter, leaving many in unnatural conditions.
“There is an acute deficiency of the tent. In Gazene and north only, we need at least 120,000 tents to temporarily shelter the inhabitants who have lost their homes, but what has been delivered so far covers only 10 percent of the real need,” said Mahna.
