Freezing rain floods Gaza camps and leaves displaced Palestinians in dire conditions

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. "We drowned last night,” said Majdoleen Tarabein, a woman displaced from Rafah in southern Gaza.
