Heavy rains have worsened the misery of displaced Palestinians in Gaza

Days of heavy rains have worsened the misery of displaced Palestinians in Gaza amid the ongoing conflict, flooding and damaging their makeshift tents. More than a year since the outbreak of the Israel-Palestine conflict, Gazans are still far from having stable housing. They endured harsh living conditions in temporary tents.

According to the Palestinian Civil Defense, floodwater have risen by more than 30 centimeters inside tents in some severely affected areas, leaving displaced people exposed to the cold and damaging their temporary shelters. Emergency services reported that several areas, including the southern, northern, and central Gaza Strip, have become uninhabitable due to flooding.
