Palestinian ministry urges urgent global action as winter crisis threatens Gaza

RAMALLAH: The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has called on the international community, the UN and its agencies, and humanitarian organizations to take immediate, coordinated action to save lives in the Gaza Strip and address the worsening humanitarian and environmental crisis as winter approaches.

In a statement, the ministry warned that the crisis may worsen, leading to further loss of life, particularly among children, older people, and patients.

The ministry stated that ongoing Israeli actions in Gaza have intensified the humanitarian crisis and impeded early recovery efforts.

Recent rainfall has highlighted the severe conditions faced by forcibly displaced Palestinians across the territory.
