Gaza is entering its fourth winter of displacement, and the first rains on November 6 and 7 already damaged 19,432 shelters. Many families still have a shelter that is leaking, torn, or exposed. A tarpaulin kit of 2 heavy-duty tarpaulins lets them waterproof and re-cover it before the peak rains. Gaza floods have hit the tent camps hard: around 70,000 tents flooded in a single day, and Civil Defense received more than 1,500 emergency calls in 10 hours.
