A number of Palestinian homes and agricultural lands were flooded due to continuous heavy rain over Thursday night and Friday morning in Tulkarem governorate especially in al-Sharawiya area north of the city.
Palestinian farmers said that rainwater flooded large areas of their lands which are planted with vegetables. The covers of agricultural greenhouses were damaged due to windy weather.
Farmer Udai al-Tanib stated that his farm which is located near the Israeli Separation Wall to the west of Tulkarem was totally flooded with rainwater because of the blockage of water channels under the wall causing him a great loss.
Municipality and Civil Defense crews rushed to the affected areas and offered help to the farmers. However many of Palestinians homes in Tulkarem were flooded and the furniture of some houses were spoiled as a result.
