Heavy rainfall in Israel and the Palestinian Territories has caused severe flooding in the largely destroyed Gaza Strip.
Palestinian media reported on Tuesday that many people living in temporary tent camps along the coast were particularly affected by the harsh weather conditions.
Videos and pictures showed Palestinians moving between flooded tents and struggling to remove the water.
A spokesman for the militant Palestinian organization Hamas called on the international community to take serious steps to support the approximately 2 million people in the devastated area.
Winter has begun, he said, making the suffering of many displaced people unbearable.
A ceasefire was in the war between Israel and Hamas was declared on October 10.
Nevertheless, violent incidents continue to occur, with both sides accusing each other of violations. It is still completely unclear when reconstruction of the largely destroyed area can begin.
The war was triggered by the unprecedented massacre carried out by Hamas and other extremist organizations in Israel on October 7, 2023, in which around 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 others were abducted to the Gaza Strip.
