According to an interview with Al Jazeera, Toby Fricker, UNICEF’s regional communications officer for Palestine, stated that last week's floods directly affected more than 220,000 people in Gaza, with temporary shelters damaged or destroyed. While supplies such as tarpaulins, tents, and children's winter clothing have been delivered, the quantities fall far short of meeting demand. He also noted that about 4,000 buildings face potential collapse risks, and roughly 400,000 people live in particularly high-risk areas, half of whom are children. The aforementioned demographic statistics cover different scopes and cannot be directly added together; his remarks regarding the potential for further deterioration of the situation constitute a risk warning rather than a confirmation of subsequent disaster conditions.
