Palestinian factions and forces: We hold the Zionist occupation fully responsible for the escalating humanitarian tragedy in the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian factions and forces:
▪ We hold the Zionist occupation fully responsible for the escalating humanitarian tragedy in the Gaza Strip.
▪ More than two million Palestinians are living the effects of the war of extermination, destruction, and siege, while rain and cold leave hundreds of thousands of displaced people in tents flooded with water and mud, without safe shelter, heating, or the minimum necessities of life.
▪ With the first winter low-pressure system, a harsh picture emerges of what awaits the Gaza Strip in the coming months, as families lose what remains of their blankets and belongings, and children, women, the elderly, and the sick face cold and rain in the open after the occupation destroyed homes, infrastructure, and life facilities, and continues to obstruct the entry of caravans, relief and shelter supplies, civil defense equipment, and materials for repairs.
▪ We hold the so-called "Peace Council" and its envoy Mladenov responsible for providing cover for the occupation and turning a blind eye to its crimes and violations, which encouraged it to renege on its commitments and deepened the suffering of our people.
▪ We call on the council to assume its responsibilities and take serious measures to compel the occupation to stop its violations and implement its commitments.
▪ We call for immediate arrival in the Gaza Strip and the commencement of its tasks to contribute to healing our people's wounds, strengthening their resilience, and managing their daily affairs, at a time when the sons and daughters of our people need every national effort that eases their suffering and supports their steadfastness.
▪ We call on the mediators and guarantors to play a greater and more effective role and apply pressure to ensure the full implementation of the humanitarian protocol and the entry of no fewer than 600 trucks per day of humanitarian aid, shelter and heating supplies, caravans, civil defense equipment, and materials necessary to repair infrastructure.
▪ We demand that the international community compel the occupation to implement the provisional measures issued by the International Court of Justice and fulfill its obligations under the ceasefire agreement and United Nations Security Council resolution 2803.
▪ We affirm that the continuation of silence and inaction in holding the occupation accountable opens the way for more violations and exposes the lives of civilians to increasing risks.
▪ We affirm that Gaza is facing harsh days, and every delay in bringing in basic necessities, shelter materials, and repair supplies leaves hundreds of thousands of families facing cold, rain, and disease.
▪ Our people today need urgent action that provides security, shelter, medicine, and food and protects their right to life and dignity, and all parties capable of intervening must assume their responsibilities before this tragedy expands and winter becomes a new season of suffering.

Gaza Civil Defense: We declared a maximum state of emergency since yesterday to deal with the effects of the rainy low-pressure system and to respond as much as possible to the distress calls we receive from families affected by the low-pressure system.
Gaza Civil Defense: ▪We declared a maximum state of emergency since yesterday to deal with the effects of the rainy low-pressure system and to respond as much as possible to the distress calls we receive from families affected by the low-pressure system. ▪All areas of the Gaza Strip are now facing a new humanitarian disaster with the arrival of the first rainy low-pressure system in the Gaza Strip. ▪Dozens of camps, including tents and shelter centers, and indeed entire residential areas, are experiencing flooding due to the heavy rainwater, as the water level in some areas has reached one and a half meters. ▪The distress rooms of the Civil Defense have received since the start of the low-pressure system 2166 distress calls from citizens, from the administrations of displaced persons' camps and shelter centers, and from families whose homes had been affected by the Israeli bombardment. ▪Rescue teams, in cooperation with municipalities and the relevant authorities in the governorates of the Strip, were able to respond to only 218 calls out of the total distress calls, while for the rest they relied on providing guidance to families facing flooding because we were unable to respond to the huge number of calls. ▪The repercussions of the first low-pressure system revealed the scale of the humanitarian disasters faced by citizens in the Gaza Strip and serve as a warning that we are facing other disasters unless everyone moves, especially with meteorological warnings that this year's winter season will be heavy with rain and storms. ▪We renew our humanitarian appeal to all countries of the world that there is no room to ignore the harsh humanitarian situation suffered by citizens in the Gaza Strip and that there must be actual pressure on the occupation to allow the entry of rescue equipment and vehicles for winter incidents. ▪We again demand immediate and practical action to bring in tents, plastic sheets, and mobile homes "caravans" to relieve and shelter the displaced. ▪We demand permission to support Civil Defense work with the necessary fuel to enable our teams to respond to humanitarian interventions, whose rate doubles during the winter season. ▪We call on the guarantor states of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the national committee for managing the Gaza Strip to assume their responsibilities and intervene urgently to save citizens who will face winter without any means to protect them from low-pressure systems.
