JAKARTA - The United Nations Agency for Assistance and Work for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) said on Wednesday thousands of internally displaced refugees in the Gaza Strip, Palestine had difficulty finding safe shelter in preparation for the cold weather to come, amid the impact of Israel's two-year war in the region.
In an upload on X, the agency said "OUSts of internally displaced persons in the Gaza Strip have difficulty finding safe shelters in preparation for the cold weather to come," it was reported from WAFA November 27.
UNRWA further explained, "refugees have no choice but to set up emergency tents," adding "there is still a lot of material needed shelter."
UNRWA noted that more than 79,000 refugees live in 85 UNRWA-run shelters in the Gaza Strip, amid worse humanitarian conditions ahead of winter.
Earlier, UN Secretary-General spokesman Stephane Dujarric warned late Tuesday that Palestinian families displaced in Gaza face the risk of flooding in their inadequate shelters.
He stressed that the population was "very vulnerable" due to bad weather conditions, and the restrictions imposed by Israel hampered the entry of vital aid and hampered the work of aid organizations.
Hurricanes accompanied by heavy rains flooded dozens of tents belonging to refugees in the Al-Mawasi region, Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, amid warnings of a humanitarian catastrophe.
