UK-based humanitarian group Save the Children has reported that it has been unable to deliver its own relief supplies to Gaza since March, when Israel imposed a full blockade on the enclave. Despite a ceasefire taking effect on October 10, the organization said that no change has occurred in its ability to bring in tents, blankets, and other essential materials.

Severe storms have recently caused extensive damage across Gaza, heightening the need for emergency shelter and supplies. Save the Children’s Gaza media manager, Shorouq, told Al Jazeera that only limited aid has entered through the United Nations, insufficient to meet the population’s basic needs. An aid worker, speaking anonymously, described desperate conditions as Palestinians struggle to find safe shelter.

The organization has attempted to source materials locally, but these efforts have been described as a “drop in the ocean” compared to the overwhelming demand. Humanitarian agencies continue to urge Israel to ease restrictions to prevent a deeper crisis in Gaza’s already fragile humanitarian situation.
