But our teams are working with far too little equipment and too few shelter materials for the scale of the need. Right now we have 150,000 tents which are stuck outside of Gaza and we are not able to get the permission for these tents to enter, which we already purchased and brought, while the people are asking for the basic shelter, for the basic place to hide themselves.
