Cold and rainy weather in Gaza risks making the war-torn Palestinian enclave "completely uninhabitable", the U.N. human rights office warned on Friday.
"We're also very worried about the impact of the rainy, cold weather in Gaza," said Ajith Sunghay, head of the U.N. Human Rights Office for the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
"It was entirely predictable at this time of the year, and risks making an already unsanitary situation completely uninhabitable for the people. Most have no more clothes or blankets."
