UNRWA
says flooding ‘doubling the misery’ for displaced in Deir el-Balah
Days
of heavy rains have made life for displaced Palestinians living in makeshift
tents even more dire, according to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency
for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
“Heavy
rains flooded shelters in #Gaza’s Deir el-Balah doubling the misery for
displaced people living [in] tents,” the agency posted on X.
“Amid
the ongoing war, severe storms are causing widespread flooding, leaving
thousands in urgent need of safety and humanitarian aid.”
The
flooding comes as aid agencies warn of an ongoing humanitarian crisis and
looming famine, with Israel repeatedly accused of preventing aid deliveries on
the scale that is needed.
UNRWA
said on Tuesday that “Blankets, mattresses and warm clothes are sitting outside
Gaza waiting for approval to get in”.
Israel issues evacuation threat for Jabalia
The
Israeli military’s Arabic language spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, has issued the
latest order for Palestinians to evacuate an area in the northwest of city –
desginated area D3 – or face an impending attack.
The
post called on people in those areas to “move immediately” to shelters in the
centre of Gaza City. It said the military would strike after rockets were
launched from the area.
The
United Nations has said that about 90 percent of Gaza’s population has been
displaced since the war began, with many people moving several times over.
Those living in makeshift shelters are currently contending with deadly cold
weather, rains and flooding.
