Why Gazans Fear the Rain

Gaza has lost the cement houses that would protect its residents from the cold.

The ceasefire stopped the war on Jan. 19 , but the suffering in Gaza did not end.

Two-thirds of Gaza ’s 2 million citizens lost their homes.

Hundreds of thousands of families are still living in tents.

A few days before writing this I was in Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis with my brother.

Hundreds of cases that come to the hospital daily seeking shelter from the cold. All of these people need medical attention, but there is only so much space. We are all helpless in the face of all this tragedy. Winter is for closed houses, sound streets, warm places. But Gaza cannot know that winter .
