Members of Palestinian civil defense operate a boat as they evacuate people after their houses were flooded with rainwater on a stormy day in the northern Gaza StripVia Nidal al-Mughrabi GAZA (Reuters) – More than four,000 people had been evacuated from flood-damaged homes in northern Gaza in what the United Nations has referred to as “a catastrophe space”, officials said on Saturday. “Huge swathes of northern Gaza are a catastrophe space with water so far as the eye can see,” the United Nations Aid Works Company (UNRWA) that administers refugee camps in the Palestinian territory, said in a statement. The Gaza health ministry mentioned one hundred individuals had suffered injuries within the severe climate, which broken poorly built properties within the coastal territory, including from automobile accidents on flooded roads, and items falling from inundated buildings. Chris Gunness, an UNRWA spokesman, stated areas near a refugee camp in northern Gaza “have grow to be a major lake with two-meter-high waters engulfing houses and stranding lots.” Hundreds of company staff had been evacuating stranded Palestinians to U.N. shelters, Gunness stated.
