Gaza’s Civil Defence agency has issued an urgent appeal as a new winter storm is expected to hit the enclave in the coming days, warning war-displaced Palestinians remain exposed to life-threatening cold.
In a message addressed to truce mediators, aid agencies, and the international community, spokesman Mahmoud Basal said: “We are on the verge of another weather front that will strike Gaza within days, bringing us back to the same humiliating scenes.
“What are you doing? Will you wait for our children to die from the cold? Will you wait for people to carry the bodies of their little ones just to prove the catastrophe is real?”
He urged immediate action to prevent cold-related deaths, saying the coming storm could turn “the cold into a killer”.
