Israel must allow tent repair kits to enter Gaza so that residents displaced by the war can start reinforcing their shelters before winter arrives, the Norwegian Refugee Council has said. With the strict Israeli controls hindering the flow of goods into the territory, it would take two years to deliver enough new tents for the one million people in need of proper shelter, the NRC said. The aid group is calling for 25,000 repair kits of tarpaulin, plastic sheets, rope and duct tape to be delivered each week.
