Strong winds, rain and winter conditions are worsening the suffering of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, where many families are living in worn-out tents after their homes were destroyed by Israel’s bombardment.

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have returned to northern Gaza since a ceasefire took effect last month, pausing Israel’s 15-month assault. However, most have found their homes destroyed or severely damaged.

Al Jazeera‘s Hani Mahmoud reports from Gaza City, while Ibrahim al-Khalili speaks to forcibly displaced Palestinians living in makeshift tents in Gaza City’s Shujayea neighbourhood.
