Gaza's Struggle: Life Amidst Rain, Ruins, and Ceasefire Challenges

The Gaza Strip, ravaged by war, is further tested by winter rains. As Israelis and Palestinians navigate a complex ceasefire, residents face dire circumstances. Aid remains insufficient, while emergency workers warn about unsafe conditions. Ceasefire challenges persist as humanitarian aid falls short of promises, exacerbating Gaza's humanitarian crisis.

Winter rains over the weekend worsened living conditions in the Gaza Strip, flooding camps and further distressing Palestinians displaced by ongoing conflict. With tents damaged by prolonged use, families struggled to stay dry.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to Florida for a meeting with US President Donald Trump, to discuss the ceasefire's second phase. The initial phase began on October 10 to increase humanitarian aid, including shelter, for Gaza residents.

Since the ceasefire, aid deliveries into Gaza have fallen short of expectations. The Israeli military reported 4,200 trucks of aid entered Gaza last week, but aid groups stress the dire need persists amid insufficient shipments.
