900,000 people are fighting for survival in freezing tents. A deadly winter storm in Gaza has claimed another life, exposing the fragility of a ceasefire that hasn't stopped the suffering of the displaced.
A Deadly Mix of Rain, Wind, and War
On December 28, 2025, a 30-year-old woman named Alaa Marwan Juha died when a wall collapsed onto her tent in the Remal neighborhood. According to Al Jazeera Arabic, the structure gave way under the force of heavy rain and strong winds that have battered the enclave since Saturday.
Local authorities report that at least 15 people, including three babies, have died this month from hypothermia. Amjad Shawa, director of the Palestinian NGOs Network (PNGO), described the entire Gaza Strip as a 'disaster area' and demanded the immediate entry of caravans and equipment to repair destroyed infrastructure.
Political Stalemate Amidst Humanitarian Collapse
While families freeze, diplomatic wheels turn slowly. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has departed for the United States to discuss the second stage of the ceasefire. Despite the first phase taking effect on October 10, reports of ceasefire violations continue to emerge.
Since the truce began, over 414 Palestinians have been killed in violations, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health. The cumulative death toll since October 2023 has reached at least 71,266. The lack of adequate shelter and medical supplies has pushed the healthcare system to the brink of total collapse.
