00:00This camp in central Gaza is home to thousands of people displaced by the Israel-Hamas war.
00:07A ceasefire has been in effect since October, but storms, floods and cold winter temperatures pose another threat to the families living in these makeshift structures.
00:19We've been living in this tent for two years.
00:22Every time it rains and the tent collapses, we try to put up new pieces of wood.
00:27With how expensive everything has become and without any income, we can barely afford clothes for our children or mattresses for them to sleep on when our mattress was flooded.
00:38God, the situation we are in is bad. Our tent is broken, torn here and there.
00:44Every time it rains, the tent collapses and we have to repair it again.
00:49Families are warned not to stay in war-damaged buildings in case they collapse.
00:54But tents offer little protection from the cold.
00:58Aid agencies say at least 13 people, including two babies, have died from hypothermia.
01:04I collect nylon, cardboard and plastic from the streets to keep them warm.
01:11They don't have proper covers. It's suffering.
01:13I'm gathering nylon from here and there to keep them warm from the cold.
01:18It's freezing. The humidity is high and water seeps in from everywhere.
01:22I don't know what to do.
01:27About 80% of buildings in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed.
01:32But Israel continues to restrict humanitarian aid to the territory, including tents and other essentials.
