The Government Media Office in Gaza issued an urgent humanitarian call on September 14 urging the protection of the two million displaced Palestinians in Gaza ahead of winter. 

In a statement, the Media Office revealed that 543 displacement centers exist in Gaza due to the war and the Israeli crime of forced displacement, which is a violation of international humanitarian law. 

Government field assessments estimated, however, that 74% of the displaced Palestinians' tents have become unsuitable for use, further clarifying that 100,000 of the 135,000 tents need to be replaced due to complete damage. 

"These tents are made of wood, nylon, and fabric, which have worn out due to the heat of the sun and weather conditions in Gaza. They are no longer usable, especially after 11 continuous months of displacement, leading to these inhumane conditions," the statement read. 

The Israeli occupation forces have also prevented the entry of at least a quarter of a million tents into the Gaza Strip, which adds to the plight of Palestinian refugees, who "will be left without any shelter during the winter, forced to sleep on the ground and cover themselves with the sky."

The Government Media Office held "Israel" and the US fully accountable for Gaza's disastrous conditions and appealed to Egypt and the Arab and Islamic nations to provide Gaza with necessary tents and aid.

'Israel' massacres Palestinian tent camp

Alongside the Israeli obstruction of tent deliveries, the occupation forces also repeatedly bombed Palestinian displacement camps, completely destroying and burning refugee camps at the site. 

Last week, the Israeli occupation launched an extensive attack against a Palestinian displacement camp in al-Mawasi, Khan Younis. The massacre was described as "one of the worst and most brutal in the Strip". 

The area was previously declared an alleged safe zone by the IOF, and sheltered at least one million Palestinians, all of whom were cramped up in makeshift tents. 

As a result of the intense bombardment of the camp, large and unprecedented craters and holes were left behind by the 2,000-pound bombs dropped by the IOF. Entire families have been wiped out, while others completely disappeared in the sand. 

Reports indicate that at least five Israeli missiles targeted over 20 Palestinian tents, reducing them to nothing.
