Egyptian Committee Intensifies Relief Interventions Amid Severe Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza
2025-12-13
Amid the current atmospheric depression in the Gaza Strip, marked by heavy rain, strong winds, and falling temperatures, the Egyptian Committee has intensified its humanitarian response to support displaced and affected families across the Strip.
The Committee conducted a comprehensive relief operation, with field teams clearing roads blocked by water and mud to ensure the safe movement of residents and the delivery of essential services, especially in areas hosting displaced families. Relief efforts included distributing protective tarpaulins and emergency shelter covers to families whose tents were damaged by rain and wind, helping prevent water infiltration and improve living conditions in temporary shelters.
On the food front, the Egyptian Committee continued providing hot meals to thousands of families, prioritizing displaced households and vulnerable groups to address urgent food needs amid harsh weather. Winter blankets were also distributed to families in need, particularly children and the elderly, to help cope with the cold and challenging conditions.
The Committee confirmed that these interventions are part of a pre-prepared emergency relief plan, with field teams working around the clock to ensure rapid aid delivery despite logistical challenges. Relief operations will continue in the coming days, including shelter and food support and emergency interventions, coordinated with local partners to mitigate the impact of the current depression on residents.
This humanitarian response highlights the Egyptian Committee’s ongoing commitment to supporting the people of Gaza, providing essential aid under difficult humanitarian and climatic conditions.
