Middle East: heavy rains in Gaza flood tents housing displaced persons

Milan, 15 Nov. (LaPresse) – Winter has arrived in the Gaza Strip. In Gaza City, after only a few hours of rain, the tents of displaced persons were flooded. Al Jazeera reporters on the ground say that Palestinians are using buckets to try to drain the water that has flooded their tents. Most camps are not equipped for heavy rainfall, and families are unable to provide winter clothes and shoes for their children.
