Winter Is Coming — and Gaza Is Not Ready

A Ceasefire in the Cold

The bombs have stopped, but a new battle has begun — the battle against the cold.
As winter approaches, more than two million people in Gaza face freezing nights without homes, heat, or shelter.

Families are still living under plastic sheets, tents, or the ruins of what used to be their homes.
The silence of war has given way to a new kind of fear: the fear of surviving winter without warmth.

Gaza’s Winter Crisis in Numbers — October 2025

🏚 1.9 million people displaced — nearly 90% of Gaza’s population have lost their homes.
🧒 Over half of all children face hunger, malnutrition, or exposure to cold.
💧 70% of Gaza’s water systems are damaged or destroyed, leaving families without safe water.
🩺 Only 13 of 36 hospitals remain partially functional — medical care is collapsing just as winter arrives.

Each of these numbers hides a story — a mother trying to keep her child warm, a father rebuilding walls from rubble, a community bracing for cold with no protection.
