Thousands of Palestinians remain without adequate shelter following deadly weekend storms in Gaza, facing lethal conditions in waterlogged and damaged tents, The Guardian reported. Charities warned of insufficient protection amid health concerns for more than 940,000 displaced people living in flood-prone areas. The storms caused widespread damage across displacement camps already struggling with overcrowding and poor sanitation.
Aid organizations are awaiting delivery of 150,000 new tents to address the critical shortfall. The delay leaves vulnerable populations—including children, the elderly, and the sick—exposed to disease risks and harsh weather as winter approaches.
