Gaza's Ministry of Social Development has warned that nearly 300,000 displaced Palestinian families face the threat of flooding and worsening humanitarian conditions as winter approaches.

According to the ministry, 90% of displacement tents are worn out and unfit for shelter, while 85% of housing units have been damaged or destroyed by Israel's war on Gaza.

With only 34% of the required shelter funding secured and emergency tent supplies exhausted, the ministry warned that continued Israeli restrictions on shelter materials could leave hundreds of thousands exposed to heavy rain, freezing temperatures and further displacement.

It called for the urgent entry of 200,000 weather-resistant tents and 300,000 emergency shelter kits.
