A fierce winter storm hit the Gaza Strip overnight. Despite the damage, residents remain determined to stay following U.S. President Trump’s controversial announcement on their future
Heavy winds and torrential rain lashed the Gaza Strip in the early hours of Thursday, flooding tents sheltering displaced families and ripping plastic sheeting off homes. The severe winter storm added to the hardships faced by thousands already enduring dire conditions.

The storm struck just hours after Gazans learned of the decision, forcing families from their sleep as winds tore apart makeshift shelters of plastic and cloth. Desperate residents scrambled to bail water out of their flooded tents using small plastic pots.

Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians have started returning to their homes, particularly in the northern part of Gaza, which remains in near-total ruin.
