While some refugees are managing to get through the storm thanks to the UNHCR\u2019s efforts and aid, many remain stranded and suffering left to brave the storm with no resources or help.

Houses in Palestinian refugee camps are not equipped to stand such harsh weather conditions, the rain and winds have left many houses destroyed, flooded, and without any power. Additionally, the Syrian refugees living in tents are forced to flee due to the tents becoming uninhabitable.
