Palestinian men struggle to carry the body of a child killed in an Israeli airstrike through flood waters rising to his waist (see photo below).
The man is among hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza who are now not only having to contend with a relentless Israeli bombardment but also flooding that is wreaking havoc across the territory.
Cold winter rain and strong winds lashed war-torn Gaza overnight on Wednesday - compounding the suffering of those forced to leave their homes and now huddling in flooded tents.
Exhausted parents who have fled to Rafah in the south have tried in vain to get the rainwater out of their tents while their children - sick from the cold - huddle in the corner.
In one harrowing scene, video shows a man wading through waist-height flood water while carrying a child's body wrapped in cotton as the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza was pounded with rain.
In another video, paramedics waded through the flood water to rescue an injured woman who was trapped inside an ambulance. A paramedic can be seen lifting her over his shoulder and trudging through the muddy water.
His face etched with grief, the Palestinian man struggles to carry the body of a child killed in an Israeli airstrike through the flood waters rising up to his waist
