Photos by Ayman Quader
These photos were taken just a few minutes ago in the Al Moghraqa district, central Gaza Strip which has been devastated by the flood that occurred when the Israelis opened one of the dam gates.
Israel has opened the floodgates of one of its dams in the eastern part of the Gaza Strip, flooding Palestinian houses and causing severe damage and resulted in scores of families left homeless.

I so angry that the new medium have not reported this, at least in the UK. I have written an email to BBC new asking them to explain how this was missed off their radar.

oh that is polite, my name etc is known to the http.. i have a question, ofcourse i can be as mischieveous as to expect nothing but an artificial flood did this, but i don’t find any references to the weather, it should have been raining pretty much for such reservoirs to fill , so can we have a little climate background about this story?
