Gaza’s displaced endure another night of relentless storms as powerful winds and heavy rain lash their fragile shelters. Families huddle in flimsy tents or on the rubble of their homes, struggling to stay dry as floodwaters rise. With no refuge, many spend the night on the streets or along the seashore, exposed to the cold and darkness. The occupying force continues to obstruct aid, deepening the crisis.

Videos from Gaza show tents torn apart by raging winds, while others collapse under heavy rain. Infrastructure already devastated by Israeli bombardment has turned the strip into a flood-prone disaster zone. Over 12,000 makeshift shelters have been flooded this winter, forcing families to battle the elements with nothing but plastic sheets and sandbags.

The scale of destruction is staggering—161,600 homes have been wiped out, 82,000 are uninhabitable, and nearly 200,000 more are damaged. Despite a ceasefire agreement promising relief, Israel continues to stall, allowing only 9,500 tents into Gaza, a mere 8% of what is urgently needed. With aid delayed, the suffering intensifies.

As rain pours and winds rage, cries of desperation fill the air: The tent is flooding! Lift the mattresses! Where can we go? Families brace for another night of fear and uncertainty, clinging to whatever remains of their shattered lives.
