The approaching winter in the Gaza Strip is a major cause of concern for its residents, most of whom were displaced by war and are seeking shelter in tent camps. Some have resorted to building makeshift homes using broken concrete from war-damaged buildings and antiquated techniques to make mortar. Others are also scrambling to prepare shelters with limited resources, anticipating the cold winter nights in the besieged territory, where temperatures can drop to around six degrees Celsius. "We have nowhere to go. We pitched a tent in this school, but the last time it rained, we were submerged by water. We managed to sort it out by building stairs to reach an empty classroom that we use as a shelter. Obviously, we are enduring cold and tough weather conditions. Overall, living conditions down here are very hard," said a young refugee girl in a destroyed neighborhood of Khan Younis. "We managed to find a place within this school to live in. we came from the northern part of Gaza where we have lost everything. We have lost our only source of living which was a big supermarket," said a woman. A few months into the war last year, heavy rains flooded the tents of hundreds of thousands of people displaced by fighting, leaving them even more vulnerable to the effects of the coastal territory's humid nights. Although temperatures never fall below zero degrees Celsius, nighttime humidity seeps into clothes, creating a damp feeling that is hard to get rid of in such precarious living conditions. "We are really suffering in this war, hopefully we'll get compensations of our destroyed homes and return back to school," said a young refugee boy. SHOTLIST: Khan Younis, Gaza Strip - Recent 1.
