Gaza officials warn of looming humanitarian disaster as winter nears
Gaza's Government Media Office says Israel has breached cease-fire terms, worsening the crisis ahead of winter.
Gaza's Government Media Office accuses Israel of repeatedly violating the cease-fire agreement, tallying over 5,000 breaches that have caused 1,421 Palestinian fatalities and 4,983 injuries, along with nearly 200 arrests. Aid trucks entering Gaza total 72,826, well short of the 210,600 promised, and only 13,785 individuals have been allowed to move in or out, versus an expected 35,000. As winter draws near, more than 1.5 million displaced residents are sheltering in worn-out tents, with 162,000 of the estimated 270,000 tents already unusable and over 255 damaged buildings at risk of collapse. The office urges the international community and UN agencies to act swiftly, fully open border crossings, enable medical evacuations, and permit winter relief supplies into the enclave.
