Civil Defence responds to floods in Gaza
The rescue organisation says its crews have responded to reports of flooding of tents belonging to displaced people south of Khan Younis.
“Our teams evacuated several displaced families after their tents were also flooded,” a statement from the Civil Defence said.
It added that they “provided assistance to a number of displaced families whose tents were flooded in the vicinity of Bir 22 and helped them resecure the damaged tent pegs”.
Winter weather arrived in full force in Gaza this week, subjecting thousands of displaced families to cold, wind and rain as they live in makeshift shelters after their homes were destroyed in Israel’s war.
