Strong winds and rain battered makeshift tent camps in Khan Younis on Sunday, leaving displaced Palestinians scrambling to secure torn tarpaulins and soaked fabric. Families say the harsh winter weather is worsening already dire living conditions in the war-ravaged enclave, with water flooding tents and wooden supports weakening.
Palestinian Wael al-Shiekh Khalil said, “The wind was very strong this night, all the tarpaulin was blown away and the tent was torn.” Gaza authorities have warned that continued heavy rain could cause more damaged structures to collapse, as thousands remain sheltering in fragile tents.
