Living conditions in Gaza have deteriorated further as strong winter winds destroyed hundreds of tents and makeshift shelters, resulting in the deaths of at least five people, including children. Families mourned loved ones killed when collapsing walls fell onto their temporary shelters, with many now working to rebuild amidst ongoing storms and aid shortages. Despite a ceasefire, Palestinians remain unable to return home, and most continue to live in precarious conditions with insufficient protection against the harsh weather.

Aid organizations are distributing emergency supplies, but the need far exceeds the available resources, leaving many exposed to the elements. The cold has claimed several lives, including infants, and the child death toll continues to rise due to both the weather and ongoing military operations. Residents describe their living situation as dire, with tents swept away by wind and sea, and little hope for immediate improvement.
