Civil Defense in Gaza: Hundreds of distress calls from displaced people whose tents were flooded by rain

Arab Weather - The Civil Defense in Gaza said that it received hundreds of distress calls from displaced people whose tents and shelters were flooded by rainwater, appealing to rescue their children.

Civil Defense confirmed that its crews can only evacuate citizens from their damaged shelters to other places that are mostly unsuitable for shelter, which exposes them to remaining in the open under the rain and bitter cold.

The Civil Defense appealed to those who are able to provide assistance to transfer the displaced to suitable shelters that protect them from the rain, especially those who were displaced to camps in the center of Gaza City, Mawasi Khan Yunis, Rafah, and western Deir al-Balah.

According to Al Jazeera, rainwater flooded thousands of tents housing displaced people in the middle of the Strip, as most of these tents lack the most basic necessities of life, and do not protect against the cold weather and the strong winds that uproot them.
