UNRWA Director of Affairs in the Gaza Strip, Sean Jones

▪Heavy rain poses an additional threat to the lives of Palestine refugee families in the Gaza Strip living in dilapidated tents.

▪Thousands of families across the Strip have lost their shelter and belongings due to the recent rains.

▪We warn that families are forced to fear for the lives of their children with every wave of rain.

▪We stress the need to provide shelters capable of withstanding weather conditions and supplies that protect families from the cold and rain.

▪We call for the lifting of restrictions and the urgent mobilization of funding, and we affirm that families cannot wait for another storm.
