Hundreds of tents flooded in displacement camps in Gaza

Hundreds of tents in displacement camps across the Gaza Strip were flooded last night and this morning due to heavy rains, Wafa news agency reported.

Displaced residents, particularly in Deir al-Balah, al-Mawasi and Khan Younis in southern Gaza, endured a gruelling night as their tents were inundated with rainwater and battered by strong winds.

Since 7 October 2023, approximately two million displaced people have been forced to live in makeshift tents that fail to meet basic living standards following the destruction of their homes by Israeli forces. These structures offer little protection against the cold winter or harsh frost.
