War between Israel and Hamas: in Rafah, displaced Gazans face winter
No pause in the bombing in Gaza. Hamas announces a death toll of 22,438. The population does not know where to take refuge. She lacks everything and has to face the cold and the rain. – (France 2)
In Gaza, the population does not know where to take refuge. She lacks everything and has to face freezing temperatures and rain.
Winter has arrived at the huge tent camp of Rafah (Gaza). In this border town with Egypt, displaced families face rain and mud. Inside, they are barely protected, on the floor there is no carpet to insulate from the cold. Makeshift shelters that fathers spend their time tinkering with and repairing. And in what serves as shelter, there is a lack of clothing. A father of five children is destitute. “VSette situation is killing me, they tell me they are cold and I can’t do anything”he laments.
“We are freezing to death”
In another tent, a tired baby is sick and his exasperated mother. “Hamas members are hiding in their homes and in the tunnels while we have no food or water and are freezing to death.”, she denounces. Between two showers, the displaced are looking for drink. He y has little, it is expensive. At middle of camp, the bread oven is a place where it is warm. The rain has returned to Gaza and, with it, there mud. Children have caught pieces of plastic For to protect yourself.
