At a joint press conference in Ramallah on 9 November, Palestinian Social Development Minister Samah Hamad and UN Humanitarian Coordinator Ramiz Alakbarov warned that cold, flooding and inadequate shelter threaten displaced people in Gaza. Hamad estimated that 2.1 million people need winter protection, including 1.76 million in crowded displacement sites; she said Gaza needs 200,000 tents and 200,000 tarpaulins, that 30% of relief and shelter supplies remain stranded at crossings, that 80% of water infrastructure needs repair, and that more than 1,600 sites face flood risks. These are figures attributed to Hamad by WAFA and Anadolu. Alakbarov separately urged that restrictions on aid and equipment be lifted. This is a distinct 9 November briefing, separate from the Gaza Government Media Office warning already recorded for 10 November.
