Gaza storm, flooding leave displaced families without shelter
Gaza families struggle to find shelter from rain and cold as tarpaulins fail and damaged buildings risk collapsing, with the United States reportedly pushing Israel to advance in plans on the war-torn Palestinian strip.
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.
