Gaza | The first breaths of winter visit the Strip, accompanied by a noticeable cold weather with intermittent rain

Arab Weather - Weather maps at the Arab Weather Regional Center indicate that the Gaza Strip will be affected on Monday and Tuesday by a relatively cold air mass, accompanied by a distant low pressure system. Accordingly, a noticeable drop in daytime and nighttime temperatures is expected, with an increased feeling of cold during the day due to the absence of sunlight and rainfall, which adds a new burden on families living in tents that are not qualified to withstand the cold weather.

Clear cold weather in the middle of the week and showers of rain that may be heavy at times

Relatively cold weather is expected on Monday and Tuesday, with nighttime temperatures ranging between 14 and 15 degrees Celsius. Clouds will appear in the sky of the Strip, accompanied by scattered showers of rain at intervals in wide areas, with the possibility of some showers being heavy and accompanied by thunder, leading to water pools on the roads, and increasing the suffering of the displaced in the tents, especially after they were damaged and destroyed as a result of the long period of time that has passed.

Fears of increasing cold as winter approaches

In a related context, the continuous decline in temperatures with the approach of the winter season raises concerns, as the cold is expected to become more severe in the coming months with the onset of winter. This may expose the lives of families, especially children and the elderly, to additional health risks.

Accordingly, responsible authorities and humanitarian organizations must move quickly to provide support to the displaced and provide heating supplies and appropriate winter blankets to ensure their safety in the face of cold weather. Protective equipment is also increasingly important as temperatures are expected to drop further in the coming months.

Recommendations:

The need to take proactive measures to support the displaced in the face of severe cold.

Equipping tents and places where displaced people live with the necessary heating and winter blankets.

Monitor weather forecasts regularly to ensure families are adequately prepared.

And God knows best.
