What's Happening?
Severe winter weather in Gaza has resulted in the deaths of two individuals, including a child, due to collapsing structures. The harsh conditions have exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in the region, with many Palestinians seeking shelter in inadequate
and unsafe conditions. The ongoing severe weather has led to the collapse of numerous buildings, further endangering the lives of those already affected by conflict and displacement. Aid agencies have raised concerns about the risks posed by the dilapidated infrastructure and the lack of adequate shelter.
Why It's Important?
The situation in Gaza highlights the intersection of environmental challenges and humanitarian crises. The severe weather compounds existing vulnerabilities in a region already struggling with conflict and limited resources.
