Residents across Gaza are preparing for another winter of severe cold and rain without adequate shelter, as families endure life in damaged buildings and deteriorating tents, UN News reported. Ahmed Al-Omari is among those facing the season with minimal protection against flooding and freezing temperatures.
The strip's war-damaged infrastructure leaves residents vulnerable to the elements. Families are improvising defenses—including using flour sacks as flood barriers—to protect themselves from winter weather in a territory where safe housing remains scarce.
