The freezing weather has been only adding to the suffering of hundreds of thousands of displaced families across Gaza.
Al Jazeera’s Ibrahim al-Khalili spoke to a family of eight in the Shujayea neighbourhood in Gaza City who have been forced to survive in a tent after finding their home destroyed by the Israeli military.
“Living in a tent is really hard. A day ago, we were all soaked in rain water. The ground is still wet and cold and our young children cannot endure it,” Ghassan Alsosi said.
“They have been coughing and vomiting all night long. I’m helpless, especially because there’s no medicine available. My children are in pain and I’m helpless. I cannot afford to buy them clothes or blankets.”
Manal Alsosi, Ghassan’s wife, said the family cannot endure living like this much longer.
“We need cover and medicine, at least for the vulnerable children. A tent does not protect you from the cold or the rain in winter. We are suffering day and night,” she said
