An unidentified resident who spoke at the start of the transcript described severe winter conditions for displaced families in the Gaza Strip, saying a mother of five with a newborn was living “in a tent, soaked.” The speaker said the family’s mattress had to be lifted to avoid standing water and that tents were full of humidity and located close to trash.

The witness said food access alone does not resolve the problem. “Access to food itself is not enough,” the speaker said, adding that overall living conditions “continue to be very dire” and cited Khan Yunis as an example of the situation she observed.

The testimony emphasized the combined hazards faced by residents: exposure to winter weather, unsanitary surroundings and insufficient basic services. The speaker framed these details as first-hand observations made while speaking to people in Khan Yunis, and no formal agency response or verification appears in the transcript.

The account in the transcript focused on human conditions rather than policy or specific relief programs. The most recent factual detail in the record is the speaker’s description of household conditions and food insufficiency; the transcript does not record follow-up actions, named aid providers, or official responses.
