In a statement, OCHA said that heavy rains and strong winds have flooded shelters in the Gaza Strip, and that Palestinians displaced by Israeli attacks are facing serious risks.
The statement called for the immediate entry of winter supplies destined for Gaza, as well as engine oil and spare parts needed to operate heavy machinery used in humanitarian work and generators.
