Mansour al-Sakni, 33, watched helplessly as rainwater flooded the makeshift shelter on the roof of a building in Gaza City's al-Tuffah neighbourhood, where he lives with his wife and four children.
The family had replaced their old tarpaulins with new ones just two weeks ago. Sakni had sold two water barrels so they could buy new sheets to keep them dry and sheltered.
