Families taking shelter anywhere they can, including in makeshift tents," the post read.</p> <p>It added that Unrwa has the necessary supplies waiting in warehouses outside Gaza. "Let us bring them in," the agency urged.</p> <p>Israel had banned Unrwa, the UN's main humanitarian provider to Palestinians, from operating in the territory it controls last year, claiming a number of its employees were members of Hamas.</p> <p>The agency reported that, as of 25 October, Israel is continuing to block its staff and humanitarian aid from entering Gaza.</p> <p>Despite this, the organisation reported that "around 12,000 of our staff continue to deliver healthcare, psychosocial support and education to the people, often under unimaginable conditions."</p> <p>On 22 October, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel's ban on Unrwa and its restrictions on aid to Gaza and the occupied West Bank are inconsistent with international law.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Winter rains in <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Gaza?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Gaza</a> are making conditions even more desperate.<br> <br> Families taking shelter anywhere they can, including in makeshift tents.<br> <br> Shelter supplies are urgently needed.
