Fierce winter storms are battering Gaza's makeshift shelters as of December 2025, with heavy rains and freezing winds threatening vulnerable families already struggling after years of conflict. The UN warns newborns face particular risk in these harsh conditions. 🏚️💔
Emergency Measures Activated
Humanitarian groups have doubled winter clothing distributions to 8,000 child kits daily and relocated 200 flood-threatened families to eastern Khan Younis. Workers are racing to reinforce shelters with sandbags and clear drainage systems as temperatures plummet. 🧥🛠️
Education & Mental Health Collateral Damage
While 65 classrooms have been cleared for resumed learning, blocked education supplies stall progress. Save the Children reports 50% of their youth support centers closed last month due to flood damage – leaving kids without critical psychosocial services. 📚🚫
Food & Livelihood Lifelines
Over 260,000 Gazans received food parcels this month through new distribution points. In a milestone, 3,500 veterinary kits entered Gaza for the first time since August 2025, supporting families relying on livestock for survival. 🐑🌾
As storms continue, aid workers emphasize: "This isn't just bad weather – it's a crisis multiplier" affecting every aspect of life in the embattled territory. 🔄⚠️
