Nov 14, 2025Al-Kafarna’s young children stood beside him, barefoot in the mud, as he spoke. Inside his tent, sand and mud had spread across the ground, soaking the family’s scant belongings. The Palestinian Meteorological Department issued warnings of more flash floods in areas across Gaza, with strong winds, heavy rain, and thunderstorms expected over the coming days.
“The winter season has begun and all the tents are ruined. There are tents that collapsed on top of the people inside from the amount of rain that came down. We are displaced, now we have rain, we have to search for a morsel of food, we have to search for water to wash our children or to drink. We have nothing,” he said. “Our nerves are shot. Every minute we wait for what is going to happen to us next. What is happening now is harder than the displacement itself.”
