Tens of thousands of displaced families in the Gaza Strip spent a sleepless night on Saturday as heavy rain flooded their fragile tents, soaking mattresses and personal belongings.
The downpour turned the makeshift shelters into water‑logged shelters, leaving many families without dry sleeping areas and forcing them to endure cold, damp conditions throughout the night.
Most of the affected households are living in temporary camps after being forced to leave their homes amid the ongoing conflict in the territory, which has left a large portion of the population without permanent housing.
The incident underscores the continued precariousness of life for Gaza’s displaced residents, who remain dependent on external assistance to secure basic shelter and protection from the elements.
