Heavy floods swamped streets in Gaza following torrential rain caused by a cold front.

Footage shows vehicles navigating the waterlogged intersection on November 8, with residents and vendors clearing stagnant water from the sidewalks.

The Palestinian territory was battered by rains as it is currently experiencing a cold front.

In a statement, Civil Defence spokesman Major Mahmoud Basal said: 'The efforts of the Civil Defence forces are ongoing.

'The main problem in Gaza is the lack of the infrastructure preparedness for the cold front due to the Israeli siege and the lack of financial capabilities.'

Infrastructure in war-torn Gaza has suffered due to a decade-long conflict with Israeli forces. Bombardments and sieges, as well as insufficient funds, have left residents vulnerable to storms and floods.
