Heavy rains and winter chill are causing severe hardship for displaced Gazans, with muddy water flooding tents and shelters in camps like Khan Younis. Fragile structures, often propped up with salvaged materials, are being inundated, forcing residents to wade through freezing puddles. Families report tents being swept away and belongings soaked. Gaza's health ministry states at least 12 people have died from hypothermia or weather-related collapses since December 13, amid widespread destruction of buildings.
