Ibtisam al Daour is tired from trying to keep the water out of her family’s tent. This winter-storm is making an already miserable situation in western Gaza City even worse.

“It has been raining on us all night; we have not slept at all, and we are still here using buckets to scoop out the water, as you can see. Everything is flooded, and my children are surrounded by water. We are dying from the cold; we have no idea what to do, and the place we are staying in has turned into a pool around us. We are still sitting here while the rain continues to pour in on us, and we do not know what to do, I don’t know.” (starts crying)  

Being wet makes keeping warm difficult. This family of six from northern Gaza has been displaced over 20 times in the past two years. Their house has been destroyed, and they have nowhere to go but a tent.

“I keep trying to find somewhere safe, but I cannot find any place where I can keep my children away from the water and danger, and I do not know what to do. The situation in Gaza is very hard, and honestly, we do not know what we are supposed to do. A person is just terrified for his children.”   
  
Two years of war have displaced most of Gaza’s residents and devastated the small territory. Most people have seen little if any improvement in their lives in the two months of ceasefire.   
 
Aid groups say Israel is not allowing the amount of supplies into Gaza stipulated by the ceasefire agreement. Israel disputes this. And ordinary people are caught in the middle.

“I am calling on all Arab nation, calling on donor countries outside, to intervene as quickly as possible to solve Gaza’s crisis, to bring us caravans, proper tents to keep us warm, and fuel so that we can have some heat. I am not upset for myself; I am heartbroken for my little children. Every time I look at them I start crying and feeling terrible because they are shaking from the cold.”  
  
There is also not much support from Hamas, the militant group that still controls parts of Gaza.  
  
Myassar Jadallah says that she doesn’t want to beg for aid – but feels abandoned.

“No one has helped us, and we do not know of any faction or group that we could turn to.”  
  
02:12+++Ibtisam al Daour, displaced Gaza resident, ARABIC+++  
“No one has helped us. I asked if there was somewhere we could go, but no one provided any place for us. There are no tents. We do not know what to do or where to go, just as you see.”  
  
This  is only the beginning of winter. The ceasefire process has stalled. The people here are seeing little progress and have been left to fend for themselves.
