70,000 tents, where most of the two million residents of Gaza live, were flooded after the rains. Many today do not have access to safe drinking water, food and a place to rest and sleep.
The Gaza Civil Defense Organization declared the highest level of emergency. According to UN estimates, 94% of Gaza residents have no safe shelter and live in tents, temporary shelters and war ruins.
The depth of the rainwater, combined with sewage, reaches one meter in some areas and has left many of the small necessities of life in this war-torn and crowded city unused.
A day before the rains, a wedding ceremony was held for a group of 250 couples who gathered from all over Gaza. This ceremony was held at the initiative of the United Arab Emirates institution and as a symbol of "love and a new beginning" in Gaza.
