Winter Has Arrived and Gaza Is Still Exposed

Winter Has Arrived and Gaza Is Still Exposed

Cold, Rain, and Life in Tents

In Gaza, winter is not just a season; it is a daily struggle for survival.
Thousands of families are still living in temporary tents, surrounded by destruction and exposed to harsh weather conditions.

As temperatures drop and rain intensifies, children sleep on damp ground without adequate clothing or blankets. Tents offer little protection from wind and moisture, and families have no means to heat their living spaces.

For vulnerable groups, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities; the cold is dangerous, increasing the risk of illness and long-term health complications.

Winter in Gaza is turning displacement into suffering.

Living Conditions This Winter in Gaza

  • Families remain in temporary tents, exposed to cold, rain, and humidity.
  • Many children lack jackets, pajamas, and warm bedding.
  • Damp conditions increase the risk of respiratory and cold-related illnesses.
  • The economic impact of the war leaves families unable to afford basic winter necessities.

Without urgent support, winter conditions will continue to worsen living conditions for thousands of households.

Why Winter Support Is Urgent

  • Tents provide minimal protection against rain and cold.
