GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE - NOV.13: Displaced Palestinian families took shelter in the ruins of the Usama bin Zayd Mosque in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, after Israeli strikes destroyed their homes and the school where they had sought refuge, leaving them with no alternative amid cold weather and continuing attacks.

The mosque, nearly entirely demolished in the strikes, now houses families living among the rubble as they struggle to endure harsh conditions and ongoing hostilities.

Displaced families fear the impact of the storm and the possibility of their tents and scarce essential belongings being flooded, repeating what happened during the past two rainy seasons, both of which occurred during the Israeli genocide.

Over the past two years, their tents have also been blown away or torn apart due to strong winds, further worsening their situation in the absence of alternatives or protective measures.

Because of weather factors and damage from Israeli bombardment, the Gaza media office estimates that 93% of all displacement tents are no longer suitable for shelter –⁠ 125,000 out of a total of 135,000.

Alternatives remain unavailable in the enclave due to Israeli restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid.

Authorities say Israel is violating the humanitarian protocol of the ceasefire agreement reached last month, including by blocking the entry of shelter materials such as tents and mobile homes.

Phase one of the ceasefire deal, based on US President Donald Trump's 20-point plan, includes the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. The plan also envisages the rebuilding of Gaza and the establishment of a new governing mechanism without Hamas.

Israel has killed more than 69,000 people, mostly women and children, in Gaza since October 2023 and reduced it to rubble.
