Displaced Families in Gaza Struggle as Winter Approaches
As winter approaches, displaced families in Gaza face dire conditions in makeshift shelters. Amid the ongoing conflict, residents like Umm Mahmoud Abu Awda and Badriya Abu Thuraya express their urgent needs for basic supplies to withstand the harsh weather. The recent rains have left many without adequate protection, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the region. Families are calling for tarpaulins, heavy blankets, and winter clothing to help them survive the cold months ahead. The ongoing conflict, which began on October 7, 2023, has led to the displacement of over 1.9 million people, many of whom are now living in tents or overcrowded shelters that lack sufficient protection against the elements. As the situation worsens, the international community is urged to take notice and provide assistance to those affected by the devastating war in Gaza.
