Two Palestinians were hurt Saturday when rain brought down a wall in a northern Gaza building previously damaged by Israeli shelling, a medical source said, while eyewitnesses reported flooding in tent shelters.

Anadolu Agency published the account on Nov. 7. Eyewitnesses said heavy rainfall flooded thousands of tents used by displaced Palestinians. They described sites near Gaza City’s port, in Jabalia and Beit Lahia, as well as areas west of Deir al-Balah and north of the Nuseirat refugee camp.

An earlier warning from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights said most Palestinians in Gaza faced a fourth winter in tents unable to withstand rain, as EconoTimes reported previously.
