Heavy rainfall has inundated tens of thousands of tents sheltering displaced Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, destroying temporary shelters and soaking mattresses, blankets and other belongings, local authorities said on Saturday.
Heavy rain flooded tents used by displaced people in Gaza on Nov. 7, according to The Straits Times and NBC News. Al Jazeera reported that thousands of families’ tents were affected and put initial losses at about $3 million, while Anadolu Agency reported the following day that a Palestinian church committee called for aid. The Jerusalem Post reported that Hamas blamed Israel for the damage and that officials said tents, tarps, clothing and blankets had been delivered. Reports give different estimates of the number of flooded tents.
