Videos circulating on social media show Palestinians struggling as refugee camps are flooded and the bodies of their loved ones, who have been killed in Israel’s bombing of the Strip, are unable to be buried.

A young man could be seen carrying the body of a deceased child, whom he retrieved from a flooded area, to transport it to a place it can later be buried near Jabalia camp in northern Gaza.

Heavy rains have flooded tents, leaving people with nowhere to sleep. While in some areas sewage water is now overflowing into the streets.
