Egypt sends tents, winter supplies to Gaza

The Egyptian Committee for Gaza Relief has initiated the distribution of new tents to displaced Palestinian families residing in Gaza, as part of their efforts to prepare for the impending winter season. According to Mohamed Mansour, the spokesman for the committee, emergency teams are currently identifying families residing in damaged tents and replacing their shelters with new ones delivered via Egyptian relief convoys.

Mansour cautioned that the upcoming winter may prove particularly challenging for residents of Gaza, many of whom are currently living in temporary shelters. In addition to their relief efforts, the committee has also expanded its focus on education and healthcare. Mansour reported that the committee has assisted in the reopening of 20 schools this year, in collaboration with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the Palestinian Education Ministry, and various UN organizations.

The committee has also equipped mobile medical clinics that will soon begin providing healthcare services for women and children in the northern regions of Gaza.
