Aid groups urge Israel to allow shelters as winter storms hit Gaza
Winter storms brought flooding and deadly landslides to people living in tents in Gaza. Aid groups called on Israel to allow shelters. Charities say more than 940,000 displaced people live in flood-prone areas, and 150,000 tents are awaited. A child died of cold at Nasser hospital. UN relief chief Tom Fletcher urged governments to stop delaying support.
Why it matters
Hundreds of thousands of displaced people face cold and flooding without proper shelter.
