Standing barefooted in the mud with an empty bucket in hand at a crowded water station in central Gaza, Palestinian Alaa Al-Shawish is both fearing the rain and looking for clean water for her family that has been displaced from Gaza City and are now living in a makeshift tent in Deir Al-Balah.

Batran woke up in the early hours of Sunday morning to find his wife, Noura trying to wake their newborn twin sons Jumaa and Ali as they lay together in the makeshift tent the family occupied in an encampment in the central Gaza Strip.
