Heavy winter storms flooded Gaza’s tent camps on Friday, collapsing shelters and soaking families already displaced by Israel’s war. Streets in Gaza City turned into rivers of mud and rubble as rain poured into makeshift tents. Parents described children waking up drenched with no dry clothes, food, or protection. Civil Defense reported widespread distress calls across Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, and Nuseirat. The UN says nearly 1.5 million people need emergency shelter, yet Israel continues to block tents, caravans, and other shelter aid in violation of the ceasefire. Hospitals also flooded, forcing staff to evacuate malnourished children to higher floors. The full report by @AbdSabbah91 in Gaza and @sharifkouddous is linked below. 🎥 Footage by @AbdSabbah91

"I wrote about embroidery as a form of hope, not merely a craft. When I threaded my first stitches, they were not just threads—they were a message, whose words declared: We are still here, dreaming and striving to make our dreams come true."
