KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Rain lashed the Gaza Strip over the weekend, flooding makeshift encampments with ankle-deep puddles as Palestinians displaced by the two-year war attempted to stay dry in tents frayed by months of use.
Muddy water soaked blankets and mattresses in tents in a camp in Khan Younis and fragile shelters were propped up with old pieces of wood. Children wearing flip-flops and light clothing ill-suited for winter waded through the freezing puddles, which turned dirt roads into rivers. Some people used shovels to try to push the water out of their tents.
“We drowned last night,” said Majdoleen Tarabein, a woman displaced from Rafah in southern Gaza. “Puddles formed, and there was a bad smell. The tent flew away. We don’t know what to do or where to go.”
She showed blankets and the remaining contents of the tent, completely soaked and covered in mud, as she and family members tried to wring them dry by hand.
“When we woke up in the morning, we found that the water had entered the tent,” said Eman Abu Riziq, also displaced in Khan Younis, as she pointed to a puddle just outside. “These are the mattresses — they are all completely soaked. My daughters’ belongings were soaked. The water is entering from here and there,” she said, gesturing toward the ceiling and the corners of the tent. Her family is still reeling from her husband’s recent death, and the constant struggle to stay dry in the winter rains.

Because of the Big, Beautiful Wall between Egypt and Gaza.
‘Cause Egyptians are not dumb enough to welcome rabid dogs into their back yard.
Oh, and the rains? Uhh, Gawd’s judgement? Egypt’s Jews had to wander the desert for 40 years. Mebbe that is what is going on here.
It’s the blame America first crowd.
**Not just Cairo. Nobody wants them.**
It’s an Arab problem just like Ukraine is a European problem.
Indonesia could take them in. Thousands of islands to spread them out. Make them wait 2000 years to figure it out just like the Israelis.
How can Gazans be displaced in Gaza? The freezing rain isn’t permanent. Their lazy butts need to do what other human beings have been doing for thousands of generations. Find a place to hunker down until the bad weather is over “in fifteen minutes.”
To use a ‘60s expression, my heart bleeds purple peanut butter for those animals.
“Freezing rain” is no reason to drag them to America to live off the backs of hardworking AMERICAN FAMILIES. Tell them to hunker down with their Isis and Hamass pals until it stops raining. Geez. Life isn’t rocket science. Just do what everyone has been doing for millions of years. You can’t spend your life with your hands out all the time.
While their Egyptian brothers keep them prisoner bottled up in Gaza with a huge multi- layered barricade including a shoot- to- kill zone in the middle
Don’t start wars you can’t afford to lose.
LOL! I just saw a video of it snowing there and another showing a hurricane blowing through!
I’m old enough to remember them dancing in the streets after 9-11.
Don’t care.
Can’t make me care.
L
This can’t be real.... All my life knowledge Karen’s insisted there could be no snow on the manger!!!!
With any luck it will result in skipping a generation of Raping, Murdering Savages.
I saw that one — clearly AI. Pallywood. It’s funny that there would be snow when the temperatures are in the 60s.
What irks me is not that the terrorist group Hamas would produce such blatant propaganda, but that the big MSM outlets would repeat it. And so many simple-minded people fall for it.
Israel’s Gaza Urban Renewal Program (GURP) is going great!
Look at the monthly weather recap in Khan Younis, Gaza.
It’s been in the high 60s to mid 70s for the entire month of December. No sign of hurricane winds or freezing temperatures.
They are lying. Big surprise.
Karma is a beyotch…my give-a-fu*k meter is out of order for these muzzie scum.
