It's been a sleepless night for displaced Mosul residents in the Hassan Sham refugee camp after an overnight heavy rain battered northern Iraq on Thursday.
The asylum administration has given out waterproof cloths to every tent and also issued a rainstorm notice on Wednesday. Some tents were soaked by rain water and weighed down to collapse due to the heavy rain.

We are afraid of raining. It may rain in the next few days. We don't know what to do," said Marwan, another displaced Mosul resident.
Many families are seen repairing and laying waterproof cloths on their tents to deal with the rains.
The Hassan Sham and Khazir refugee camps currently have accepted 100,000 displaced residents from Mosul and its surrounding areas. Many of them have not carried enough clothes with them when they left, which would pose them a great challenge to passing the winter.
