"In Gaza, families are bailing water out of their tents with pots and pans," Lahbib wrote on US social media platform X.
She said flooding had swept through camps sheltering displaced Palestinians, adding that the rainfall was further aggravating an already dire situation.
"The rain makes a crisis that was already unbearable worse," she said.
