"Displaced families living in tents on the beach in Khan Younis described their horror at being flooded out by the latest storms, with sea water gushing through their makeshift homes on Sunday. Footage shows waterlogged tents as well as people attempting to salvage belongings and digging drainage channels. "We've been shovelling sand since 23:00, but in vain, we couldn't contain the water. The tents were inundated and our children were displaced, and the elderly were drowning," said Sobhi Abu Jamea. "I took my child, who is one and a half years old, out of the tent and put him with my wife's family, then returned to salvage some of our belongings, but in vain," said another displaced man, Mahdi Al Qahwaji. He also called for caravans to be brought into Gaza instead of tents that 'do not protect them.' Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General posted on his official X account: "More rain. More human misery, despair and death. Harsh winter weather is compounding more than two years of suffering. People in Gaza are surviving in flimsy, waterlogged tents and among ruins." Local media reported on Sunday that heavy rain and strong winds had resulted in 17 people killed, including four children."
