These rains are falling on a population already living in precarious conditions. In the part of the enclave still controlled by Hamas, which has not disarmed, 1,400,000 people are living in makeshift shelters.
The sun has returned. Hussein Zaatar, 28, continues to dry his mattress and all the belongings he owns.
The severe weather has killed at least five people in the Gaza Strip, including three children, according to rescue services. Five people died after collapses. Unicef says more than 200,000 residents have been flooded.
Families remain amid their soaked belongings. The floods have ravaged the tents that serve as their shelter.
Shelters are lacking to cope with the situation."There are not enough tents or shelters, and there is above all a need for prefabricated units or caravans,"said Toby Fricker, Unicef spokesperson.
According to the UN, 150,000 tents, for example, are still blocked. Humanitarian aid is entering Gaza, but not enough.
