Ammon News - Last night and this morning, , hundreds of tents were flooded in displacement camps in different areas of the Gaza Strip due to heavy rains.

The displaced, especially in the areas of Deir al-Balah and Mawasi Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, spent a harsh night inside their tents that were swallowed by rainwater and blown away by winds.

The catastrophic conditions experienced by about 2 million displaced people since October 7, 2023, have forced them to live in dilapidated tents that lack the minimum requirements for a decent life and do not protect them from the cold of winter or from the harsh frost waves, after the Israeli occupation forces destroyed their homes.

Medical sources announced yesterday the death of an infant in the Gaza Strip due to the cold and low temperatures, the fifth person to die due to the cold and lack of heating in less than a week.

UNRWA Emergency Officer Louise Waterridge said in press statements that more than two million people are still trapped in horrific conditions in Gaza and are deprived of their basic needs.

UNICEF's chief communications officer in Gaza, Rosalia Paulin, warned of the difficult situation in the Gaza Strip with the onset of winter, noting that children are feeling cold and damp, while many of them are still wearing summer clothes.
