Summer is coming to Gaza, and the same tents that withstood the harsh winter cold will face the blazing summer.

Arab Weather - With the onset of summer and the gradual rise in temperatures in the Gaza Strip, the suffering of thousands of displaced people who have been living in tents and temporary shelters since the start of the recent aggression on the Strip is worsening. They lack even the most basic protection against harsh weather conditions.

After these tents withstood the cold winter and the rains that exposed the fragility of the temporary structures of many shelters, a new challenge is emerging: the high temperatures and high humidity typical of Gaza's coastal environment during the summer. Concerns are growing that these tents are unable to provide any form of ventilation or protection from the sun, threatening the safety of the elderly, children, and the sick in particular.

This comes as weather forecasts indicate that the Gaza Strip may be affected by hot air masses in the coming weeks, potentially raising temperatures to 40 degrees Celsius in some areas, threatening further hardship for residents already living in dire humanitarian conditions.

O God, be their helper and supporter.

God knows best
