Gaza Strip – Flooding from two days of heavy rains forced hundreds of Gaza City residents to flee their homes on Thursday, as the United Nations Relief and Works Agency declared a state of emergency in the area.

The bulk of the damage was in the areas around the Sheikh Radwan lagoon, according to UNRWA which said no injuries were reported.
“We are very concerned about such severe storms this early in the season and on the back of unprecedented damage and destruction caused by the recent conflict,” said the agency’s Director of Operations Robert Turner in Gaza.
“We are particularly concerned for those families still seeking adequate shelter and preparing for the winter months, and for the impact the flooding is already having on children unable to attend school.”

Wait and see that the UN will condemn and blame Israel for the floods in Gaza.
Rockets rain they don’t get scared! Little water they can’t handle ?
Let them be busy with flooding! They seam to enjoy it!
I guess they are now being used for civil puposes…. Storm sewers! 🙂
let the water flow into the TUNNELS they dug and spoil all guns
Amazing
How did the Israeli govt create a flood??
Zollen zie alle dertronken vaaren, vie shneller.
So where’s all the “bleeding hearts” lending a hand ?Probably end up ,with the IDF doing all the aid work .
Too bad Hamas spends its efforts on constructing tunnels to destroy rather than sewers. But the Gazans are too blinded by hate propoganda to realize the irony.
Let’s pray for another twenty more feet
all those rocket fuses and wires must be short-circuited by now
This is how Jews talk??? Gen. 1:27. You forgot???
Israel gets the same rain and we are thrilled-they get rain and they have a state of emergency. Instead of trying to take away the country that we built up, why don’t they learn from us and build themselves up? They simply don’t want to. Better to whine and complain than to do anything to help themselves.
The affected residents of Gaza should be given visas to London until the flooding is addressed.
