Red Cross: Displaced families in Gaza face little protection and bitter cold

IFRC shared a post about the difficult winter conditions in Gaza, which is under Israeli attacks and blockade, on the social media platform account of US-based company X.

Pointing out that for families in Gaza, tents are often the only shelter they have, the post said, "Heavy rain, floods and strong winds are now destroying even this. Displaced families face severe cold with little protection, losing their shelters and their few remaining belongings." The expression was used.

It was stated in the post that the Palestinian Red Crescent teams responded to emergency calls for help, and it was emphasized that the existing materials and resources are far from meeting the enormous needs.

"Essential humanitarian supplies must be allowed into Gaza. Frontline teams must have resources to provide shelter, warmth and life-saving care to families," the post said. evaluation was made.
