Tent camps in Gaza were flooded
Gaza, March 26 (Hibya) - Heavy rainfall and a storm affecting the Gaza Strip have deepened the suffering of thousands of displaced Palestinians struggling to survive in makeshift tents and among ruins.
According to CCTV, the storm that struck the coastal areas west of Gaza City caused many already fragile shelters to collapse and turned the camps into a sea of mud.
The humanitarian crisis in the area is going through one of its most difficult periods in recent years due to winter conditions and inadequate shelter facilities. Asiya Al-Fayoumi, who lives in the camp, said: "It is impossible for us to live under these conditions. Our clothes are soaked, our children are wet. Our tent collapsed on top of us, and even if we try to repair it, it is useless."
Another Palestinian, Mohammed Saadallah, said they were trying to protect their children because the tents were taking in water, but the water leaking in from every direction had rendered all their belongings unusable.
A displaced person named Inam Salman stated that they had been suffering greatly in these tents since the beginning of winter, and with the storm continuing, their shelters had become completely flooded.
