- Majdoub’s family of eight lost their shelter.
- Doghomoush’s repairs could not keep rain out.

## Summary

Heavy rain and strong winds have flooded tents and damaged homes across Gaza, leaving displaced families exposed to cold and further loss. The storms have made it harder for people already living with injury, illness and shortages to protect their children through another winter.

Nahla al-Majdoub’s family of eight lost their tent near Gaza’s port and have been staying with neighbours; she said her children had worn the same wet clothes for four days. She also needs medication costing 170 shekels a week and cares for a seven-year-old daughter with diabetes. In al-Sabra, Sameh Doghomoush tried to patch his partly destroyed home with tarpaulins, but rain entered through the roof and broken windows, soaking the family and leaving his three sons ill.
