Arab Weather - The besieged Gaza Strip experienced a difficult night due to the difficult weather conditions it witnessed, as heavy rain clouds rushed to large areas continuously, with strong winds and high waves, resulting in the flooding of many tents with seawater and rainwater, amid hundreds of appeals reaching the Gaza Civil Defense to rescue children from tents exposed to flooding.

More heavy rain clouds cross Gaza, more tents threatened with flooding

According to the latest satellite images received by the Arab Weather Center, large amounts of heavy rain clouds continue to pour into several areas of the Gaza Strip, and more rain is expected to fall in the coming hours, exacerbating the humanitarian crises for more than two million people in the Gaza Strip.

According to the Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip, there are hundreds of distress calls from displaced people whose tents and shelters were flooded by rainwater, appealing for the rescue of their children. The crews can only evacuate citizens from their damaged shelters to other places that are mostly unsuitable for shelter, and they remain in the open under the rain and bitter cold, especially the displaced in the camps in the center of Gaza City, Mawasi Khan Yunis, Rafah and west of Deir al-Balah.

We ask God to inspire them with help and to make the cold of winter easier for them.
