Displaced Palestinians in Gaza, forced into makeshift tents after Israeli airstrikes began on October 7, 2023, face worsening winter conditions. Heavy rains have flooded the tents, offering little protection from the cold. Many stay awake through the night to prevent water from filling their shelters, relying on small gas cylinders for warmth.
The Gaza Government Media Office reported that seven people, including a 20-day-old infant, have died from the cold in the past week. Meanwhile, hunger, thirst, and harsh weather continue to compound the suffering caused by ongoing Israeli attacks.
