A rainstorm in Gaza has caused significant damage, destroying around 70,000 tents that house displaced Palestinians. This has led to a state of maximum emergency being declared by civil defence authorities. The flooding has compounded the difficulties faced by displaced families, who are now experiencing their third winter in the camps.
