Woes of homeless Gaza families amid snowstorm

Tens of thousands of families in Gaza who were left homeless during the Israeli genocidal war in 2014 summer are now struggling to cope in frigid temperatures along the besieged coast, Qods News Agency reports.

Scores of families are still living in tents set up beside their destroyed homes, trying their hardest to stay warm despite a severe shortage of electricity and fuel for generators or heaters.

A Maan report recounts the woes of Abu Tayamas family, one of those families stuck in the eye of the storm with only a light piece of fabric to protect them.

Their tent is located directly beside the ruins of their former home in Khan Younis, bombed to bits by Israel last summer.

The Abu Tayama family's experience is not unusual in the Gaza Strip, where the homes of around 110,000 were damaged or destroyed in the Israeli assault.
