Rain drenched tent camps in Central Gaza’s Deir Al-Balah as winter storm Byron continues to devastate the war-battered enclave.
Families have spent the night trying to save their little possessions that were soaked inside their tents.
“The rain has been pouring all night. It has not stopped, and the tent is flooded and all the furniture is now ruined,” said Khalil Ayef, a displaced father from Jabaliya.
He said that he has nothing left and no place to go with his family of 12.
Water was inches up in the tent encampment, and people scrambled to save their soaked furniture and flooded tents.
Lamiaa Abdel Dayem, also in Deir Al-Balah, said that her little boy woke up in the middle of the night soaked from rain leaking inside their tent.
“My kid told me that he was soaked in water. My husband was startled, and he found us drenched in water,” she said, adding that her family of six woke up and found everything flooded. “There was nothing we could hold, no food and no clothes, nothing. we have no blanket."
