Heavy rainfall and severe flooding have displaced around 100,000 people in the war-ravaged Gaza Strip, leaving them struggling to survive the winter without safe shelter.

International aid agency Oxfam has blamed Israeli restrictions on the entry of relief and reconstruction materials for worsening the crisis.

Wassem Mushtaha, Oxfam's representative in Gaza, told Al Jazeera that the flooding had made the situation in the territory “horrific”.

He said Israel was blocking essential shelter supplies from entering Gaza and had restricted access to 65 percent of the territory, leaving many people with nowhere safe to go.

Mushtaha said Oxfam workers were urgently repairing rainwater drainage systems and supplying sandbags and essential equipment to repair water and sanitation facilities. However, he stressed that further assistance was needed.

He called for the urgent entry of spare parts, engine oil, pipes, heavy machinery and shelter construction materials, warning that more people could die this winter without adequate supplies.

He also urged governments to put pressure on Israel to allow the unrestricted entry of materials needed to restore essential infrastructure and called for a Palestinian-led reconstruction process across Gaza.
