🚨 Gaza drowns in first winter storm as Israel blocks rescue equipment The first winter storm tore through the Gaza Strip on November 7, flooding roughly 70,000 tents in just 12 hours, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office. Dozens of buildings already weakened by Israeli bombardment collapsed, injuring civilians. Civil Defense crews could not pump out the water or open drainage channels, all because of severe fuel shortages and destroyed equipment. 🔴 About 10 rainwater suction trucks have been held at the crossings for a year. 🔴 Municipalities haven't received fuel for their heavy machinery since March. 🔴 Diesel is so scarce and expensive that generator owners are resorting to burning cooking oil. This is the fourth winter Gaza's displaced population has spent in tents. A year into the ceasefire, the Israeli occupation still restricts the entry of tents, tarps, caravans, and building materials. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime
