Heavy rains over the past 12 hours have flooded at least 70,000 tents in the Palestinian Gaza Strip, where Palestinians displaced during the war with Israel live. Water seeped into the dwellings and deprived tens of thousands of people of temporary shelter. aktuality.sk ↗
The flooding hit tent camps as winter weather worsened. According to Palestinian authorities, hundreds of families have had to leave the camps since Saturday morning, after large amounts of water flooded them. Many displaced people have no other housing option. Der Standard ↗
Civilian authorities operating under Hamas control said the rains affected approximately 70,000 tents already on the first day of the adverse weather. According to them, the flooding worsened conditions in areas where people displaced by the war live. Le Monde ↗
The situation is further complicated by fears of disease spreading. The overcrowded camps lack stable protection from rain and cold, while water can contaminate the surroundings of the tents and worsen hygienic conditions.
Palestinian authorities also state that more than 74,000 people have died since the start of the Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip. The latest flooding is thus further increasing the pressure on the displaced population, which already faces the consequences of the prolonged conflict and a lack of safe housing. teraz.sk ↗
