Gaza's Displaced Struggle Against Harsh Weather and War's Aftermath

The people of Gaza are facing a tough situation. They are already dealing with the effects of war. Now, heavy rains are making things worse. Many have lost their homes. They live in tents or makeshift shelters. These are not strong enough to protect them from the rain and wind. A worker from a UN agency shared his concerns. He saw a lot of water on the ground. The wind was very strong. He saw people trying to remove water with buckets. Many children were wearing wet clothes. Parents were trying to dry their blankets. But the rain kept falling. It was hard to keep the children dry. The cold weather is also a big problem. Temperatures drop at night. There is a fear that children might get sick. Some might even die from the cold. Many tents are not strong. They can be blown away or destroyed by the wind. Aid agencies are trying to help. They have brought in winter clothes, blankets, and tents. But it is not enough. The needs are too big. Many people are still suffering every night.The war has damaged many buildings. Some have collapsed because of the rain and wind. People have died in these collapses. A relative of one victim asked the world to help. He wants the territory to be rebuilt. He wants people to have homes again. The International Committee of the Red Cross is worried. They say more aid is needed. They want help for urgent and long-term needs. This includes food, shelter, and repair of important infrastructure. Israel says they are not restricting aid. They say many trucks with supplies enter Gaza every day. They have delivered a lot of tents, blankets, and warm clothes. The war started with an attack by Hamas on Israel. Many people were killed. Many were taken hostage. Since then, thousands have died in Gaza. The ceasefire has two phases. The first phase is almost done. The second phase will focus on rebuilding Gaza. It will also include post-war governance, withdrawal of Israeli troops, and disarmament of Hamas.
