Dozens of shelter centers housing tens of thousands of citizens in the northern and southern areas of the Gaza Strip flooded, after rainwater mixed with sewage entered classrooms, tents, and citizens’ homes.

Press sources reported that in the northern Gaza Strip, several centers housing thousands of displaced people, in addition to the homes and tents of citizens, were flooded in Jabalia, Beit Hanoun, and Beit Lahia, due to the heavy rains that fell over the past hours and at dawn today.

It added that the shelter centers in Gaza City flooded, as rainwater entered UNRWA schools, in the Al-Rimal neighborhood, the University Square area, the Askola area, and the Al-Zaytoun, Al-Shuja’iya, Al-Daraj and Al-Tuffah neighborhoods.

In the center of the Gaza Strip, rainwater entered the shelter centers, which include a number of UNRWA and government schools, in addition to the flooding of the shelter centers in the cities of Khan Yunis and Rafah, and the majority of tents in the city of Rafah sank and were blown away as a result of the strong winds, indicating that all the tents house children.

The citizens appealed to all international institutions and the World Health Organization for the need to take urgent action to stop the Israeli aggression in the first place, and to provide centers to shelter them from the rain and the extreme cold, in light of their inability to return to their homes, most of which were demolished.

Citizens, especially the displaced, are suffering from difficult conditions in light of the ongoing Israeli aggression for the 100th day in a row, in addition to the weather depression hitting Palestine.
