10. CHILDREN WALKING AROUND FILTING TENTS GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE - DECEMBER 28: Severe storm and heavy rain have made the sea level increased across the coast of Gaza Strip with flooding makeshift tents sheltering Palestinians displaced after homes were destroyed during Israeli attacks.

Several tent areas housing displaced civilians were inundated as downpours turned sandy ground into standing water with crashing waves of the sea. Strong gusts tore through parts of the camp, ripping up tent coverings and scattering supports, leaving families struggling to reassemble shelter amid the storm.

Displaced people have been affected by winter storms out of roughly 1.5 million Palestinians living in tents and makeshift shelters that offer minimal protection, according to earlier figures from Gaza’s government media office.

Local officials also reported that numerous residences already damaged over months of fighting collapsed under the force of the rain and wind. With few alternatives available, many families remain in partially ruined buildings despite the risk, citing restrictions on the entry of temporary housing units and construction and reconstruction supplies as a major obstacle to safer shelter.

Several residential buildings previously damaged by Israeli airstrikes have also collapsed due to rain and strong winds.

- Cracked, unstable structures at risk of collapse

With most buildings in Gaza destroyed and Israel blocking the entry of mobile homes and construction materials, many Palestinians have been forced to shelter in cracked, unstable structures at risk of collapse.

Although the ceasefire took effect on Oct. 10, 2025, living conditions have not significantly improved, as Israel has failed to meet its commitments under the agreement, including allowing agreed quantities of food, aid, medical supplies and mobile housing into Gaza.

Israel has fallen short of fulfilling its obligations under the first phase of the agreement, particularly a halt to hostilities, as Israeli forces have continued to launch attacks, which killed at least 414 Palestinians and wounded 1,142 since the ceasefire.

The Israeli army has killed over 71,200 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured more than 171,200 others in its genocide in Gaza since October 2023.
