GAZA, February, 6 2024 (WAFA) – Hundreds of tents in displacement camps in different areas of the Gaza Strip were flooded due to heavy rains in Rafah and Mawasi Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.
The displaced reported that their tents were blown away by the strong winds, forcing them to face the bitter cold without any protection.
The heavy rainfall that fell on the governorates of the Gaza Strip exacerbated the suffering of tens of thousands of local residents, whose homes were severely destroyed due to the intensive bombardment.
The displaced people are facing harsh conditions amidst the bitter cold and strong winds, as thousands live in tents made of nylon and thin fabric, which lack the minimum protection from rain and storms.
Those who returned to the northern Gaza Strip are also facing difficulties in setting up and securing their tents, in light of unfavorable weather conditions, in addition to the severe shortage of food and the lack of heating materials.
The lack of fuel also exacerbates the crisis, as families find themselves unable to secure any means of heating in light of the low temperatures at night.
