I do not know whether the world understands the scale of the disaster that is approaching Gaza, or whether anyone still cares about us at all. But a very serious catastrophe is coming, and the world must act before it is too late. Winter is getting very close. More than 170,000 tents across Gaza are torn and worn out tents that have endured more than three years of displacement, extreme summer heat, strong winds, and heavy rain. These tents are no longer fit to protect a human being, so how can they possibly protect children and families through another winter? Every winter brings the same disaster back to us: tents flood, water reaches where children sleep, and the cold consumes their bodies throughout the night. What we have lived through in previous winters will happen again, perhaps even worse this time. There is no infrastructure capable of draining rainwater, and there are no safe places for people to go. Thousands of families are living inside destroyed and damaged buildings, which could be flooded by the rain or collapse on those forced to live inside them because they have nowhere else to go. We urgently need caravans and temporary housing to be allowed into Gaza. We are not asking for luxury. We are asking for a dry and safe place that preserves human dignity and protects children from flooding and freezing temperatures. Every season of the year has become a disaster for us, but the coming winter could be the worst of all. Do something before the rain begins—not after the tents have flooded and the world begins counting the victims. Enough of treating our lives as if they do not matter. Enough of waiting for the disaster to happen before talking about it.
