The Gaza Media Office warned about a humanitarian disaster facing 2 million displaced Palestinians in the Gaza Strip ahead of winter, Anadolu reports.

74 per cent of the tents for the displaced people are no longer suitable for use, according to government field assessment teams, it said in a statement.

The teams said, as reported by the office, that “100,000 out of 135,000 tents need immediate replacement due to wear and tear” because they “are made of wood, nylon, and fabric, and have deteriorated due to the sun’s heat and the harsh climate conditions in Gaza. After 11 continuous months of displacement, they are now completely unusable under these inhumane conditions.”

The Office warned of a “real humanitarian disaster with the arrival of winter, which threatens to leave 2 million people homeless.”
