Food and other items spoiled as hundreds of tents of displaced Palestinians flooded amid ongoing Israeli onslaught.
Heavy rain has flooded tents for displaced Palestinians across Gaza, bringing more misery to 2.3 million people who have been facing nonstop Israeli bombardment since last October.
“We ran in the middle of the night, the rainwater flooded the tent, the food is gone, the kids screamed and I am afraid they will get sick,” said Rami, 37, a Gaza City man displaced at a former football stadium.
The Palestinian Civil Defence said thousands of displaced people were affected by the seasonal flooding and demanded new tents and caravans from aid donors to shield them.
“Rainfall has caused severe damage to tents housing thousands of displaced people with water flowing inside the tents and damaging luggage and mattresses,” Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal said in a statement on Sunday.
“The current situation signals a real humanitarian catastrophe if immediate intervention does not take place,” he warned.
