GAZA, MINA – The UN Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) on Saturday called for the entry of shelter supplies into the Gaza Strip, as heavy rain flooded the tents of displaced families amidst dire humanitarian conditions.
“Winter rains in Gaza make conditions even more dire. Families are sheltering wherever they can, including in makeshift tents,” UNRWA wrote on social media.
The UN agency reiterated that it has much-needed shelter supplies already in Gaza “to help people get through the winter,” and called for the immediate facilitation of the entry of this aid.
The Gaza Civil Defense Agency warned that heavy rains had flooded dozens of tents housing displaced families in the coastal area of al-Mawasi near Khan Younis, worsening already precarious living conditions.
