General Directorate of Civil Defense - Gaza Strip:
We warn of a humanitarian disaster with the onset of winter, and announce that we have received over 1,500 distress calls since the beginning of the depression, as a result of damage to tents and shelter centers in various districts in the Gaza Strip.
We have been documenting the drowning of entire camps in the regions and cities of the Gaza Strip since dawn today, against the background of the drowning of displaced families with their children and women and the rain that is sweeping away their tents.
We will emphasize that the civil defense alone cannot deal with the consequences of the depression in light of the scope of the disaster and the lack of the capabilities and equipment needed to pump rainwater.
We call on local and international institutions to take their responsibility and provide urgent support in the form of equipment, machinery, fuel and relief materials, to protect the lives of civilians, especially children, women, the elderly and the sick.
