Gaza: Severe winter conditions compound humanitarian crisis for displaced Palestinians
Most of the more than 2 million residents of the Gaza Strip have already been displaced multiple times; the biting cold and torrential rains are not just a seasonal change, but ultimately a threat to survival.
A series of winter storms has recently caused widespread flooding in low-lying areas and displacement camps. For many, the nightmare is compounded by the collapse of buildings already weakened by hostilities. With no alternative shelter available, many displaced families have moved into structurally unsound buildings, where downpours and high winds increase the risk of sudden collapse, turning these spaces into life-threatening refuges rather than places of protection.
