The UN agency for Palestinian refugees assessed 113 displacement sites across Gaza, finding that 18 facilities housing portions of the roughly 60,000 displaced people are structurally compromised. Ten of these locations face high or very high risks of collapsing entirely as winter approaches. In response, aid groups are prioritizing 270 households in the most hazardous structures to relocate into newly acquired tents. The vulnerable living conditions have also triggered a sharp rise in acute respiratory infections, which officials expect will increase.
