In light of the cold weather, thousands of displaced Palestinians live a tragic life inside tents in the center of Gaza City, where their night is like their day, with no water, food, medicine, or heating to protect their bodies from the harsh winter cold.
The entire family lives in one tent, including the young, the old, and the sick, and they all live in very tragic conditions.
One of the women describes their life as very difficult in the tents, as they lack food and drink and rainwater falls on them, in addition to the spread of insects and garbage around them.
What is worse is that there are families who do not have tents to protect them from the cold of winter, which is the case of a family living under the rubble of a house destroyed by the Israeli occupation forces, after they were displaced from Beit Lahia.
Accompanied by three children, a Palestinian father sat under the rubble of the destroyed house, wearing nothing but a light blanket. He said that he had to come to this place with his children, despite his fear that the house would collapse on them due to the rain and thunder, in addition to the cold weather, little food, and diseases and insects are annoying.
If this is the suffering of the displaced during the day, as monitored by Tel Aviv Tribune correspondent Muhammad Qariqa, then their suffering at night is beyond all description, as this suffering intensifies due to the lack of electricity and heating tools.
Tel Aviv Tribune correspondent Anas Al-Sharif monitored the situation of families sleeping on the ground inside shelter centers in eastern Gaza City, and said that displaced people were forced to set up tents consisting of mattresses inside schoolyards.
The pictures broadcast by Tel Aviv Tribune showed the severe suffering of these displaced people, as they were in tents and places unfit for living. A woman who was sitting with others around a traditional fireplace said that they did not have covers or anything to protect them from the cold of winter. Moreover, the rain was falling on their tents and insects were filling the place.
In addition to the tragic living conditions of the displaced, the Israeli occupation army continues its intensive raids on areas of the Gaza Strip, and Palestinian media confirmed that it blew up residential buildings in the Al-Khalafa and Al-Alami area, the Abu Qamar area in the Jabalia camp, and in Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip.
It is noteworthy that on the fifth of last October, the Israeli army began a ground invasion of the northern Gaza Strip, and observers say that Israel wants to occupy the northern Gaza Strip and turn it into a buffer zone after displacing its residents, under the weight of continuous bloody bombardment and a tight siege that prevents the entry of food, water, and medicines.
