Heavy rains cause flooding, strain power supplies in Gaza
GAZA CITY - Heavy rains have caused widespread flooding in the Gaza Strip, placing further strain on run-down infrastructure and power supplies in the Palestinian territory.
Rescue services used paddle boards Tuesday to evacuate residents from a dozen flooded homes. Pools formed on main roads due to the poor drainage network.
Frequent power cuts and gas shortages have worsened due to the inclement weather, and some residents are burning wood to keep warm.
