A severe winter storm has hit the Gaza Strip, bringing low temperatures and heavy rains that pose significant risk to newborns and other vulnerable populations living in makeshift shelters. The UN aid coordination office (OCHA) reported that humanitarians are scaling up the distribution of winter clothes for children and clearing storm drains to mitigate flooding in high-risk shoreline communities. The crisis comes two years after the war began, highlighting the precarious conditions for Gaza’s approximately two million residents.
