The winter of 2024–25 in the Gaza Strip (November 2024–March 2025) has been marked by a humanitarian emergency due to over one million internally displaced Palestinians lacking adequate shelter amid winter storms leading to persistently cold temperatures and flooding. The crisis, exacerbated by Gaza war and severe restrictions on aid deliveries implemented by Israel on the Gaza Strip, left hundreds of thousands of families struggling to survive in makeshift shelters and tents as temperatures began to drop.
