What UNRWA left out: The Jerusalem Post says 91,000 new tents delivered

On 13 November 2026, UNRWA said a tent alone is not enough to protect Palestine Refugee families in Gaza from winter weather, that families need shelter that keeps them dry, blankets, and warm clothing, and that humanitarian teams need pumps, drainage equipment, spare parts, and engine oil. UNRWA said essential supplies remain in warehouses outside Gaza, "awaiting permission to enter," and called on Israeli authorities to allow essential supplies into Gaza without delay. UNRWA said that with sustained donor support, UNRWA can ensure every approved humanitarian item reaches families in need. On 2 November 2026, according to COGAT, COGAT continues to coordinate the entry of special equipment into the Gaza Strip as it ramps up efforts to bring in winterization equipment, in coordination with the international community.
