These tents are the only shelter for displaced people in #Gaza.

Forced from their homes. Exposed to the cold, wind, rain & flooding.

Many survived bombs and hunger. Now, winter threatens their lives.

The humanitarian situation is getting worse.

Urgent, safe access for aid is needed.

Let aid in.

In the #Gaza Strip, displaced families are struggling to access safe water.

In overcrowded shelters, many rely entirely on water trucking by UNRWA. They ration every drop for drinking, cooking and basic hygiene.

Access to water remains critical for survival.

In Lebanon’s 12 #Palestine Refugee camps, UNRWA provides essential sanitation services every day — collecting around 160–170 tons of solid waste daily.

From street cleaning to maintaining water, sewer and stormwater systems, these services are critical for public health and dignity.

The Kalandia Training Centre in East #Jerusalem is under threat.

A recently passed amendment to Israel’s anti-UNRWA laws could allow the expropriation of the land and force the closure of UNRWA’s oldest vocational training centre.

“We are appealing to the world to help us by providing proper tarpaulins or tents so that we can keep our families warm,” says Nidal, from the north of Gaza.

Winter weather in #Gaza is harsh and the needs are immense. More aid must be allowed in to help people live in dignified and safe conditions.

Israeli forces remain deployed in more than half of the #Gaza Strip, behind & beyond the so-called “Yellow Line”

In these areas, access to humanitarian facilities & assets, including UNRWA’s, is severely restricted or prohibited

People in #Gaza must have safe & unimpeded access to humanitarian aid
January 9, 2026 at 6:00 AM
Every day in #Gaza, people urgently need humanitarian aid.

Every day they face the cold.

Every day they are living in make-shift shelters.

Every day they have nowhere else to go.

Every day UNRWA’s aid remains outside Gaza - blocked from entering.

Today, all restrictions on aid must be lifted.

Since it started in January 2025, the Israeli forces' “Iron Wall” operation has caused massive destruction, and large-scale, forced displacement in the occupied #WestBank.

This is putting thousands of #Palestine Refugees in a cycle of forced displacement, trauma and economic hardship.

It must stop
January 8, 2026 at 11:00 AM
Severe weather is worsening already dire conditions in #Gaza.

Flooding and collapsing shelters are putting displaced families — many living in tents or unstable buildings — at even greater risk.
