UN and partners urgently appeal for swift entry of winter supplies into Gaza as humanitarian crisis deepens

The UN and its partners have issued an urgent appeal for the immediate entry of winter supplies into the Gaza Strip, emphasizing that 'lives are at stake' following deadly rainfall that exacerbated already dire humanitarian conditions. Policy decisions and restrictions on critical items are hindering aid efforts, with over 150,000 tents awaiting dispatch outside Gaza while needs inside the enclave continue to grow.
