900,000 Palestinians Face Flood Risk as Heavy Rains Compound Gaza's Misery
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Gaza, officials warn more than 900,000 displaced Palestinians face
the risk of flooding as a storm system brings heavy rains and colder
temperatures to a region where Israeli attacks have left 85 percent of
road, water and sewage networks damaged or destroyed. Municipal
authorities warn entire neighborhoods are at risk of being flooded by
overflow from sewage stations left damaged from Israeli attacks or
unable to operate due to a lack of fuel.
