GAZA, (PIC)
Gaza’s Government Media Office (GMO) has issued an urgent humanitarian appeal to save about two million displaced people in the war-battered Gaza Strip before the winter season arrives.
“We are issuing an urgent humanitarian appeal to save two million displaced people in the Gaza Strip before it is too late, as winter approaches, weather conditions worsen, and the displaced people’s tents deteriorate,” GMO said in a statement on Saturday.
The statement noted that there are 543 shelter and displacement centers in the Strip due to the Israeli military’s “forced displacement of citizens through compelling them to evacuate their homes and safe residential neighborhoods, which is a violation of international law.”
According to its statement, 74 percent of the displaced people’s tents have become unusable, and 100,000 out of 135,000 tents need immediate replacement.
These tents are completely dilapidated as they are made of wood, nylon, and fabric and have deteriorated due to the sun’s heat and the climatic conditions in Gaza, so they are completely out of service, the statement added.
GMO urged the international community and its competent organizations to take urgent action to provide immediate relief to the displaced people in Gaza.
