The Guardian reported that some parts of Gaza is under heavy flood water during this winter season after a night of heavy rains and strong winds. The affected areas include the vulnerable refugee camps of Jabalia. The UN estimates that over 85% of the citizens of Gaza are now displaced from their homes; many of them are women and children. The rainwater soaked and damaged the tents of people forces to leave their own homes due to bombing of the Jewish entity. The weather conditions are increasingly pushing the humanitarian crisis into an ever-increasingly dangerous cycle.

Comment:
At least 85% of Gaza’s population of 2 million has been displaced since fighting started in October. The onset of winter conditions, which can be compared to many European countries in terms of the cold, rain and harsh conditions, means that the spread of disease and scarce supplies of water, electricity and food will increase the deaths of the vulnerable.

As all tents have had their entire contents immersed in water, sad video footage on social media depicts the mothers of the Ummah showing their children’s wet clothes and belongings. With no means to keep dry, the children are sleeping in their wet beds with their wet clothes and getting sick.

The economy of Gaza is at a standstill with every single access point blocked by the enemies of the Islam. Control of the life and death of this Ummah has been ultimately handed over to the Jewish entity and her supporters by the Muslim leaders who celebrate their “Christmas” holiday and “New Year” season and cater to the culture of the West in the Muslim lands.

How can this inhumanity go unnoticed by the vast armies of the believers? Where are the men? We can only reverse this catastrophe with the return of the Islamic ruler who will never let the women and children sink into the dirty water of the lands that are their birthright.

[وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنْتُمْ أَعْدَاءً فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُمْ بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْوَانًا وَكُنْتُمْ عَلَىٰ شَفَا حُفْرَةٍ مِنَ النَّارِ فَأَنْقَذَكُمْ مِنْهَا كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ آيَاتِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ]

“And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you — when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided.” [3;103]
