Winter conditions in Gaza: Tents of 350,000 people flooded
The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the tents of 350,000 displaced people have been flooded due to heavy rainfall. Authorities have called on the international community to urgently open border crossings to allow the entry of humanitarian aid and construction materials.
Bursh, an official from the Ministry of Health in Gaza, stated that heavy rainfall, which has become effective with the onset of winter, has pushed the living conditions of 350,000 displaced Palestinians into a catastrophe.
Thousands of displaced people in Gaza are struggling to survive in tents that have been flooded due to winter conditions and heavy rainfall. Authorities warned that if aid materials held at border crossings are not allowed in, children will face serious health risks such as freezing and dehydration.
According to data shared by the Gaza Government Media Office on November 7, 70,000 tents were flooded within the last 12 hours. It was reported that many walls in the region collapsed due to heavy rainfall and that a large number of people were injured, including some in critical condition.
