UN: Displaced Palestinians lack all essential non-food items

The UN humanitarian agency OCHA has said that families inside and outside shelters in Rafah and Khan Younis are in need of 50,000 cold weather tents, 200,000 bedding sets, 200,000 sealing-off kits, 200,000 winter clothing kits, and timber to support the displaced in establishing self-built shelters.

“One of the challenges that displaced people face is the lack of hand tools to prepare the location of their tents and to protect them from rain and floods,” the agency said, as Israeli prevents hand tools from entering the besieged enclave.
