A new storm is expected to worsen conditions for hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians living in makeshift camps in Gaza. The majority of tents, already weakened by harsh winter weather, are now unusable. This situation is a result of the ongoing conflict and restrictions on aid, including essential building materials, despite a ceasefire agreement. While the agreement stipulated 600 aid trucks daily, only an average of 145 have entered Gaza. The lack of adequate shelter leaves families exposed to rain, cold, and freezing temperatures, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. The situation is further compounded by the ongoing Israeli war, which has displaced nearly all of Gaza's two million residents.
