Today, 29 November, is the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

There is a long history of solidarity with Palestinians from countries and movements struggling against colonialism and oppression across the world - especially from Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

The first heavy rainfall of winter arrived in Gaza this week, flooding tent encampments across the besieged Strip. With approximately 90 percent of the enclave’s population having been displaced from their homes, often several times, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are living in makeshift tents that are ill-equipped to withstand the elements. Gaza’s Government Media Office estimates that around 10,000 tents were either washed away or damaged due to this week’s storm.
