UNRWA: One million displaced people in the Gaza Strip are at risk of death due to the winter cold
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said on Monday that “one million displaced people in the Gaza Strip are at risk of death due to the winter cold, in light of the ongoing war of genocide.”
The agency added in a tweet on its account on the “X” platform, that “the displaced people in Gaza need protection from rain and cold, and only about 23 percent of their needs have been met.”
It explained that "945,000 Palestinians are at risk of severe cold in the Strip this winter."
The agency stressed that "there is an urgent need for aid to meet the enormous needs as the crisis worsens."
The Israeli occupation army, supported by the United States and Europe, continues its aggression on the Gaza Strip for the 430th consecutive day, as its aircraft bomb the vicinity of hospitals, buildings, towers, and homes of Palestinian civilians, destroying them over the heads of their inhabitants, and preventing the entry of water, food, medicine, and fuel.
The aggression left more than 151,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amidst massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and elderly people, in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
