Rain Floods Tents in Gaza Camps
Heavy rain has flooded more than 70,000 tents. The tents are in camps in the Gaza Strip. Many families live in these tents. They had to leave their homes.
Civil defense is moving people out of the camps. It does not have enough tools, so the work is hard. An official told the Maan news agency that dozens of people need help now.
Bad weather has damaged the camps. The Maan news agency said the damage was 3 million dollars.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned about families in flood areas and damaged buildings. The families are in danger now. Most of the 2.1 million people in Gaza still live away from home. Many live in old tents. They do not protect well from bad weather.
Aid groups need more money now. OCHA asked for winter supplies and big machines. It also asked for engine oil and spare parts. These items are needed to run aid vehicles and generators (machines that make power). OCHA wanted these items to come in right away.
