Palestinians in Gaza face flooding and debris amid cold and rain

Tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians in Gaza are enduring harsh winter conditions, with heavy rains and strong winds causing further suffering after two years of Israeli bombardment. Families living in tents since late 2023 are facing freezing temperatures, rain, and winds, with many struggling to afford basic necessities. The heavy rains have flooded makeshift shelters, leading to deaths from hypothermia. Ceasefire talks are ongoing, with challenges including the deployment of an international stabilisation force and disarmament of Hamas. Israeli violations have resulted in hundreds of Palestinian casualties since the ceasefire began.
