GAZA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), Gaza’s ministry of public works and housing has described mobile homes as “the most viable alternative” to tents for displaced families after heavy rains and fierce winds devastated tent camps across the war-ravaged enclave.
“Mobile homes provide displaced families with safer and more stable shelter than tents, which have proven unable to offer even a minimum level of protection against harsh weather conditions,” the ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
The ministry stressed that mobile homes represent a necessary temporary solution until reconstruction efforts start in Gaza.
“Only limited quantities of fiberglass tents have entered the Gaza Strip through several international organizations. Although these tents offer better protection against harsh weather than conventional canvas shelters, the supplies delivered remain far below the needs of displaced families and are insufficient to address the deepening shelter crisis,” the ministry said.
