Bashar Murad, Director of Health Programs and Director of Al-Quds Hospital of the Red Crescent Society in the Gaza Strip, said that more than 10,000 tents in Mawasi Khan Yunis were blown away by strong winds and rain, forcing the displaced to move their tents to areas far from the beach in very difficult and harsh conditions.

Murad added to Voice of Palestine Radio that citizens suffer from various chest diseases, especially the elderly and children, due to the lack of winter clothing, heating devices and blankets, in light of the significant drop in temperatures.

Murad noted the spread of famine in the Gaza Strip, and the percentage of children suffering from malnutrition reaching 40% in the south, as a result of the occupation authorities preventing the entry of relief aid and the significant increase in food prices.
