People sheltering in UN schools are now facing a new problem as tents begin sinking due to heavy rainfall, Al Jazeera reports.

One man at the UN camp in the city of Rafah, southern Gaza, called for urgent intervention as people are already suffering from a lack of food, water, electricity and other necessities.

“If our children do not die from war, they will die from the cold of winter and hunger,” he said.

“Egypt is not able to open the crossings, the Arab nation has become lax with the Americans and Israelis, we are tired and [not] saved enough,” he cried.
