Winter crisis
the Norwegian Refugee Council warned, a year after the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, that continued Israeli restrictions and a lack of funding will force 1.65 million people in Gaza to spend a fourth winter in dilapidated tents and war-damaged buildings.
the council noted that Israeli authorities are currently allowing only 15 trucks per week from Jordan to enter Gaza carrying materials they classify as “dual-use” across all humanitarian sectors. These materials, which include tents and blankets, are only permitted to be unloaded one day a week at the Kerem Abu Salem crossing, the only crossing open for aid.
The Council statement quoted Secretary-General Jan Egeland as saying that nearly 300,000 families need shelter assistance this winter. He said: “However, donors have provided or pledged only 34% of the $283 million needed to provide the minimum level of shelter assistance this winter, leaving a shortfall of $186.6 million.”
Egeland noted that the stocks and materials currently available are only sufficient to provide partial assistance in the area of shelter and household supplies for about 52,000 families, stressing that the Israeli authorities continue to prevent the arrival of materials needed to carry out repairs and build more durable shelters.
He stressed that the severe shortage of heavy machinery, engine oil and fuel is hindering efforts to prevent flooding in displacement sites, where the number of people living in sites at moderate or high risk of flooding is estimated at about 950,000.
