Parts of Gaza flooded after heavy rains, exacerbating humanitarian emergency

Parts of Gaza were flooded on Wednesday, after a night of heavy rains and strong winds. The rainwater soaked and damaged the tents of people already displaced by Israeli offensives, exacerbating the territory’s humanitarian crisis. At least 85% of Gaza’s population of 2 million has been displaced since fighting started in October, raising urgent concerns about the spread of disease, as well as scarce supplies of water, electricity and food.
