Gaza Civil Defense confirmed that tents have proven to be a complete failure in the Gaza Strip and called on relevant authorities and international institutions to categorically stop bringing tents into the area.

It explained that tents, made of plastic materials and wood, cannot withstand heavy rain, cold, and strong winds.
