STORYLINE:

A devastating winter storm has been sweeping through the Gaza Strip, making the displaced Palestinians' struggle for survival far more challenging.

The flimsy tents housing the displaced people are no match for the tempestuous, chilly winds.

For the people of Gaza, the storm is not merely an act of nature but an additional tragedy in a sequence of calamities that have torn apart their lives.

"The situation is very tragic. The strong winds blew away hundreds of tents. I had a house in Khan Younis, but it was bombed, and now I live in a tent, and this is not considered a life."

The relentless rain and gusts of wind have left the camps in chaos, and there is no haven for the most vulnerable, such as children and the elderly.

The lack of fuel has further compounded their misery, depriving families of any means to keep their shelters warm. Living in damp and frigid conditions, people become more vulnerable to diseases.

According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, more than 1.5 million people in Gaza have been displaced by the conflict, with their basic needs not yet met.
