Gaza Strip: 7 Palestinians killed in 48 hours amid housing crisis

The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that 7 Palestinians were killed and 38 others were injured in Israeli attacks over the last 48 hours. These fatalities occurred despite a ceasefire agreement. Since the conflict began on October 7, 2023, the total death toll has reached 74,016, with 175,068 people injured.

In the Gaza Strip, a severe housing crisis is unfolding as thousands of Palestinians seek shelter in damaged buildings and rubble. Approximately 90% of homes in the region have been destroyed or damaged due to ongoing military operations. Families report living in fear of structural collapses and harsh winter conditions, with many residing in tents or unstable buildings that pose a constant risk of falling. UNICEF reports that approximately 84% of the population is affected by these conditions.
