Thousands of tents in displacement camps in central and southern Gaza were flooded yesterday due to heavy rains, exacerbating the horrific living conditions for the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians displaced by the war.
Gaza’s civil defence said it had received hundreds of emergency calls to evacuate displaced people whose shelters were flooded by the rain.
Meanwhile, another Gaza newborn froze to death yesterday amid plunging winter temperatures, bringing the total number of deaths from hypothermia to six.
The harsh conditions are expected to continue today, with more rain forecast across the strip and low temperatures to remain amid lack of aid entry and complete siege of the enclave.
