Young Palestinian boy drowns in muddy water flooding his Gaza tent camp, UN says

JERUSALEM: The UN said Thursday that a Palestinian boy in the Gaza Strip drowned in floods that engulfed his tent camp, with videos showing rescuers trying to pry his body out of muddy waters by pulling him by the ankle. It was the latest sign of the miseries that winter is inflicting on the territory’s population, with many left homeless by the devastation from two years of war. Health officials also reported the death of another 9 year-old boy in Gaza Thursday, but the circumstances were not clear.
