Heavy flooding leaves displaced Palestinians in south Gaza with nowhere to shelter

Dozens of shelters in the Gaza Strip have been flooded with a mix of rainwater and sewage waste in the past day as a result of the heavy rainfall, Palestinian news outlets report.

According to the reports, the floods have damaged a number of UNRWA shelters and schools in southern Gaza, where thousands of civilians are seeking shelter in the war-ravaged enclave.

Displaced people in Khan Younis and Rafah are left without any barrier between them and the harsh winter weather after strong winds destroyed their tents, the reports say.
