Women and minorities were most affected ...I love the smell of wet Palestinians in the morning! Smells like..."victory"!
Jerusalem -- Ma'an -- Palestine's long-awaited rainfall, called a blessing from heaven by Palestinians in the West Bank, was described as a curse for homeless families in the Gaza Strip.
So have them sneak some umbrellas through the tunnels.
And make sure you vote Hamas, if you're ever allowed to vote again.
Israel completely destroyed at least 2,000 Palestinian homes and left as a many as 12,000 damaged during its 22-day assault on Gaza. 46,000 people were displaced, according to the United Nations.
The price tag up to 3 billion yet? It's been a couple of weeks.
According to the official Palestinian Authority news agency, Wada, the rains are "adding to the suffering of homeless people in Gaza," despite the blessing to farmers.
C'mahn, guys! I know whining is the national pastime over there, but I thought you won?
"The rainy weather over the past two days has doubled the suffering of homeless families in the Gaza Strip," the agency reported, saying "storms damaged tents, which house dozens of people, and are their only refuge after Israel's war machine destroyed their homes."
Just doubled the suffering? Ya gotta go for at least "quadrupled" if ya wanna speed up the checks...
"We are now homeless again thanks to the rainy weather that was source of joy for many people, but for us it is a source of suffering as we can't find refuge from rain and cold," said Raafat Abed Rabbo from Jabaliya in the northern Gaza Strip while trying to re-erect his tent along with his sons after it was demolished by storms and heavy rains. A family of ten people lived in that damaged tent. Another Gaza resident, Ziad Abed Rabbo, spent the night at his relative's. "We have been displaced just like the Nakba [Catastrophe] in 1948. Here we are in the streets with our children, suffering misery, pain and extremely cold weather."
Ma'an word of the day is "suffering"...
On the other hand, Gaza farmers, whose fields were also dug up by invading Israeli forces, were happy with the rain, and began to replant their fields on Saturday.
See. At least somebody's enjoying the big win...
