Gaza Tent – Large (£700)
£700.00
A secure, weather-resistant 18 metre square, and 2 metres high and is of very high quality that can house a family together, helping them:
-
stay dry and protected from wind and rain
-
reduce exposure to cold (especially for babies and children)
-
regain privacy and dignity in overcrowded displacement sites
-
UNHCR’s approved “family tent” is designed to accommodate up to 5-6 people and is intended for emergency use across different climates.
Winter conditions are now a direct threat to life for displaced families living in flimsy shelters.
-
OCHA reports 31 storm-related deaths since the winter season began, including seven children who died from hypothermia.
-
Reuters reported that a recent storm flooded hundreds of tents and that about 7,000 tents were damaged in 48 hours, while UN and local officials cited an urgent need for hundreds of thousands of new tents for displaced people.
-
Rain is continuing: the current Gaza forecast shows showers over the coming days, which increases flooding risk in low-lying and poorly drained sites.
When a tent collapses or floods, families lose their only barrier against cold nights, wind, and contaminated floodwater—often along with blankets, clothing, and any remaining possessions.
