Winter and dust storms are sweeping across #Gaza, hitting tents where displaced people are sheltering.
Families already displaced continue to face wind, dust and rain with little protection.
Safe shelter — along with other essential needs — remains out of reach.

Across the #GazaStrip, UNRWA teams continue to maintain water wells and desalination systems, supply water, and support hygiene, waste management, tank disinfection and pest control.
Reliable access to water and hygiene remains critical for people living in overcrowded shelters.

A flower still life in oil on gessoed board from nearly a decade ago (sold). The camera distorts the difference in size between the painting and the subject but gets the colour pretty acurately (an excellent DMC-LX5- still in use)
