Desperate Conditions for Displaced Gazans as Heavy Rains Flood Camps
Thousands of displaced Palestinians in Gaza are facing worsening conditions as torrential winter rains lead to widespread flooding of makeshift shelters. The heavy rainfall has devastated tent camps, with reports indicating that nearly all tents have become uninhabitable. Experts warn that the flooding could pose significant health risks, potentially leading to outbreaks of disease among the vulnerable population of over 900,000 uprooted individuals. Amid the crisis, the UN and other agencies are calling for the urgent entry of shelter supplies to provide relief. The humanitarian situation is further exacerbated by ongoing tensions, with accusations from Hamas directed at Israel for obstructing aid amidst the severe weather.
