Scenes from al-Mawasi in Khan Yunis, Deir al-Balah and Gaza City show heavy rains submerging roads and flooding displaced tents, while displaced Palestinians plead for help and adequate shelter to protect their families. Three years of Israel's civil war in the Gaza Strip destroyed its infrastructure, destroying roads, drainage networks and essential services. This widespread destruction left Gaza in a non-hazardous position to withstand severe weather, and exposed the already displaced Palestinians to additional hardships and life-threatening conditions.
