## Key points

- A storm destroyed a displaced family’s tent in Gaza City.
- Eight family members are staying with neighbours.
- Their shelter had been their home for nearly two years.

## Summary

Heavy rain and strong winds destroyed Nahla al-Majdoub’s tent in Gaza City, forcing her and her family of eight to stay with neighbours. Their experience shows how displaced families face renewed danger as winter storms overwhelm makeshift shelters in Gaza.

The family had lived in the tent at Gaza’s port for nearly two years, after their home in northern Gaza was destroyed during Israel’s ground invasion. When the storm struck last week, rain leaked through the roof and flooded the ground while they slept; Majdoub said she woke to find herself and her children soaking wet.
