The Palestinian Civil Defence has said floodwaters rose to more than 30cm in the affected tents in Gaza, leaving displaced Palestinians exposed to the cold and causing damage to their belongings and mattresses, Al Jazeera reports.
The emergency service says the tents — located in areas including northern Gaza City, southern Khan Younis, as well as in central Deir el-Balah — were rendered unusable because of the flooding.
It says there were hundreds of other tents where the floodwaters were below 30cm.
