International aid groups report that shelter materials are still not entering Gaza, despite recent Israeli announcements lifting restrictions. For nearly six months, the delivery of essential items such as tent poles has been blocked, and humanitarian organizations say bureaucratic hurdles continue to prevent supplies from reaching displaced Palestinians. Over 1.3 million people in Gaza lack proper shelter, with many forced to live in makeshift tents or among the ruins of their homes. Aid groups warn that ongoing delays and limited permissions for deliveries could result in further loss of life, as the need for shelter grows amid continuing conflict.
