GAZA (Reuters) - More than 4,000 people have been evacuated from flood-damaged homes in northern Gaza in what the United Nations has called "a disaster area", officials said on Saturday.
Flooding has been so severe that access to many homes is by rowing boat and water is reported to be two metres (more than six feet) high in some places. Many people have been trapped inside inundated homes by rising waters.
