Below is a message from our Palestinian friend about the flooding in Gaza. This is the situation of her immediate family members - father, mother and siblings. The congregation helped the daughter come to Canada 2 years ago with her fiancé. Her father decided to stay in Gaza as he is a medical doctor and wanted to help the people.
“Thank you so much for asking about my family and checking on them.
Unfortunately, the situation in Gaza is very difficult right now because of the heavy rain and flooding. The rain has caused a lot of problems for people living in tents. My family’s tent was flooded with water, and water started leaking through the roof. They tried to manage the situation as best as they could, but it was very difficult.
They even put pots and pans under the leaks to catch the water dripping from the roof. The next day, they tried to repair the tent and fix the damaged areas. They also worked on putting up additional tarpaulins to protect the tent from more rain and water. They are doing their best to control the flooding and protect their belongings, but the situation is still very difficult and heartbreaking, especially because they have no proper shelter to protect them from the weather.
It is very painful for me to be far away while my family is going through this. I just hope the rain stops soon and they stay safe.”
