The arriving of winter

14 November 2025, emergency call[1] on the fediverse!

The situation of November 2025

As a reminder, 92%[2] of house in Gaza have been detroyed or damaged by the Israeli armed forces. The consequences are majority of Palestinian live in homeless shelters. The best protected lots from the wind –which are not in seaside– are rented for around $500. Shelters and equipments providers for living in winter by NGOs are currently blocked[3]. People are doing with what is remaining in the markets which are sold at a high price. Palestinian in the fediverse have no any income which could help them to cover their life costs. It’s the 3rd winter they are living in homeless shelters.

The climate

During summer, temperature can reach 38°C and many insects are proliferating because by a disastrous health situation. The winter is rainy and windy, and equipements designed for the summer –some of which are not waterproof– are completely ineffective during this season. Violent storms punctuate a cold and wet winter which prevents clothes from drying properly.

The needs

Here we have bare minimum list they need. With home destroyed and emergency displacement, “warm” equipments they may have had been lost. Their tent is worn out and no longer waterproof. The only solution is to buy the equipment again.
