JAKARTA - Extreme weather and winter storms that hit Palestine are further exacerbating the suffering of displaced people in the Gaza Strip.
In Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, a child was reportedly injured after being hit by a wall collapse due to strong winds accompanying the storm, according to local sources.
Floods submerged tents that were shelters for refugee families in low-lying areas. Meanwhile, a number of other tents were blown away by the wind, forcing families, including children, to survive in open spaces in very cold temperatures.
As reported by ANTARA from WAFA-OANA, Palestinian refugees are now facing very difficult conditions. They live in tents made of thin nylon or makeshift cloth that hardly provide protection from rain and storms.
Thousands of people are still surviving on the streets, playgrounds, squares, and schools without adequate protection from the cold and extreme weather.
The crisis was exacerbated by the scarcity of fuel, which made families unable to obtain heating facilities during cold nights.
Many residents were forced to take refuge in damaged and unstable buildings due to the extensive destruction of settlements by Israeli forces and restrictions on the entry of prefabricated houses, building materials, and reconstruction supplies.
