In the written statement made by the Palestinian State Presidency, the UNSC was asked to fulfill its legal, political and moral responsibilities and take urgent measures to stop Israel's violations.
The statement also called for Israel to be forced to open all border gates to allow humanitarian aid and to provide international protection to the Palestinians.
It was emphasized that the immediate priority for now is to save the people of Gaza, meet their basic needs and end the humanitarian tragedy.
It was reported that Israel was responsible for the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza, as the attacks and blockade continued even in winter.
It was pointed out that Palestinians were deprived of safe shelter and the necessary means to stay warm because the tents were flooded.
In the statement, it was emphasized that the reason for the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza is Israel's insistence on its aggressive policies, its refusal to allow humanitarian aid entries and its failure to comply with US President Donald Trump's ceasefire plan.
The low pressure system that affected Gaza brought heavy rains and flooded 70 thousand tents where the displaced people lived.
In the statement made by the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a call was made to the United Nations (UN), its affiliates, international humanitarian organizations and non-governmental organizations to take urgent and coordinated action against the humanitarian and environmental disaster that deepened with the beginning of the winter season in Gaza.
In the statement, it was emphasized that conditions that threaten the lives of Palestinians, especially children, the elderly and the sick, should be prevented before they turn into a bigger disaster.
It was stated in the statement that Israel's attacks on Gaza and the restrictions it imposed deepened the humanitarian crisis, and that early recovery efforts were also prevented.
In the statement, it was noted that the recent rains revealed the extent of the humanitarian conditions faced by Palestinians who were forcibly displaced in Gaza, and it was argued that the damage was not only caused by adverse weather conditions, but also the widespread destruction of infrastructure and Israel's failure to implement the United Nations Security Council resolutions aggravated the disaster.
In the statement, it was pointed out that the destruction of sewage and rainwater drainage networks increases the risks, and asked to put pressure on Israel to open all border gates and allow humanitarian aid to be delivered to Gaza without any restrictions or delays.
“Temporary shelter units should be allowed to enter the region”
It was also stated that temporary shelter units should be provided to the region in order to protect the displaced Palestinians in Gaza from winter conditions.
In its statement, the Refugee Affairs Department of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) called on the international community, the UN and humanitarian organizations to take urgent action to save thousands of displaced families in Gaza.
In the statement, it was stated that safe shelter areas should be established to protect the dignity of the displaced Palestinians, and tents, plastic sheets, blankets, winter clothing and heating equipment should be provided.
In addition, it was requested to increase the supply of food, drinking water, medicine and medical supplies in order to protect the most vulnerable groups, especially children, women, the elderly and the sick.
In the written statement made by the Media Office of the government in Gaza, it was stated that the adverse weather conditions that took effect with the beginning of the winter season further aggravated the living conditions of Palestinians displaced as a result of Israeli attacks.
In the statement, it was stated that 70 thousand tents were flooded in the Gaza Strip within 12 hours, dozens of walls collapsed due to heavy rains and many people were injured, some of them in serious condition, in different regions of the Gaza Strip.
In the statement, it was warned that dozens of buildings damaged in Israel's attacks on the Gaza Strip and in danger of collapse were at risk of collapse, and it was noted that adverse weather conditions increased this risk.
