The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) reported that thousands of internally displaced people in the Gaza Strip are struggling to secure safe shelter as winter approaches, amid the ongoing conflict that has plagued the region for the past two years.
In a post on its website, the agency explained that “thousands of internally displaced people in the Gaza Strip are struggling to find safe shelter in preparation for the cold weather.”
It added that “the displaced have no option but to erect makeshift tents,” emphasizing the urgent need for more shelter materials to support them.
The agency also noted that more than 79,000 displaced people are currently residing in 85 UNRWA-run shelters in the Gaza Strip, amid increasingly dire humanitarian conditions as winter approaches, according to recent reports.
