"We woke up to the sound of heavy rain in Gaza City, Jabalia camp. The sound of rain always teaches us that after hardship comes relief and that life is beautiful and worth living. استيقظنا على صوت امطار غزيرة في مدينة غزة مخيم جباليا صوت المطر يعلمنا دائما أن ما بعد الضيق إلا الفرج وان الحياة جميلة وتستحق ان نعيشها #gaza"

Archivist Notes On This Video

As North Gaza experiences heavy rains, the tents of the displaced got soaked with rainwater. The rains give people a much needed reprieve from the lack of water and unbearable summer heat exacerbated by tents, but also add to their appalling living conditions. The adults and children are both happy and dismayed.
