Palestinians suffer from bad weather amid further Israeli aggressions

Gaza residents & especially the families, who lost their homes in the recent Israeli war, have faced heavy rainfall and severe thunderstorms in the past few days. Fortunately, this disaster resulted in zero casualties.
Gaza residents are now facing a more serious problem than the cold storm, as Tel Aviv has already opened flood gates leading to central Gaza Strip.
Hundreds of Palestinians were evacuated from their homes after Israeli authorities opened a number of dams near the border, flooding the Gaza Valley in the wake of a recent severe winter storm. This act came without prior warning or notice to the Palestinians, which lead to a major catastrophe for many families in Al-Mughraqa area.
Ministry of Interior in Gaza said in a statement that the civil defense services and teams from the Ministry of Public Works have evacuated more than 80 families from both sides of the Gaza Valley after their homes flooded, as water levels reached more than three meters.
This is not the first time that such a thing happens. The disaster caused by Israelis has happened for several times over the past years amid the international community’s inaction.
