Gaza's beaches, once a place for relaxation, have turned into makeshift homes for thousands displaced by the ongoing war. Families, like that of Mohammed al-Halabi, now face winter's grip with fragile tents battered by high seas. “Nothing is left in the tent,” he laments, sharing the plight of those who lost everything to the relentless ocean.
As Gaza's 2.3 million inhabitants endure intense displacement, a staggering nine in ten are living in tents. With temperatures dropping, illness spreads among the residents. Shaima Issa from Khan Younis voices her despair, saying, “My children’s feet, their heads—everything is freezing.” Heavy rains only exacerbate the situation, drenching families who lack waterproof shelters.
In addition to the brutal weather, Gazans grapple with severe shortages of food, medicine, and fuel. As reports of long lines at bakeries emerge, Hanan al-Shamali fears for her health while trying to secure bread for the orphans she cares for. The situation further worsens as aid organizations struggle to deliver vital supplies due to distribution issues and rampant looting.
Antoine Renard from the UN's World Food Programme warns, “The levels of hunger, devastation, and destruction we are seeing now in Gaza is worse than ever before.” With the war showing no signs of abating, Gazans brace for another season of hardship, caught in an endless cycle of despair as winter sets in.
