The humanitarian crisis at Yarmouk Stadium in Gaza City is worsening, as thousands of displaced Palestinians face dire conditions amid severe shortages of food, water, and medical supplies. Families who fled relentless Israeli bombardment describe unbearable overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and the spread of disease, with little protection against the cold and rain. Aid remains scarce, leaving many in desperation.

Heavy rains and freezing temperatures have wreaked havoc on displacement camps, flooding tents and exposing families to the elements. The extreme cold has already claimed the lives of at least seven displaced individuals, mostly infants, due to the lack of heating and adequate shelter. Humanitarian groups warn that the death toll could rise as conditions deteriorate further.

With Israel’s destruction of Gaza’s drainage systems, sewage networks, and water wells, entire areas are now submerged. Exclusive images obtained by Snd news agency show rainwater pouring into tents, destroying the few belongings families rely on for survival. Nearly 2 million displaced people continue to suffer, with promised relief aid failing to arrive under the ceasefire agreement.

Government statistics in Gaza reveal the scale of destruction: 161,600 housing units have been completely demolished, 82,000 are uninhabitable, and 194,000 have sustained varying levels of damage. Tens of thousands remain without shelter, exposed to both war and the relentless forces of nature. With no meaningful relief in sight, Gaza’s displaced continue to endure unimaginable suffering.
