Heavy Rains Flood Gaza Tents, Sand Embankment Collapse Kills Several Displaced PeoplePreviousNext

Heavy rains in Gaza have caused severe flooding, damaging around 70,000 tents sheltering displaced Palestinians and leaving thousands without adequate shelter. A sand embankment collapse near Deir al-Balah killed four to five people, including children and women, and injured others. Rescue teams face challenges due to limited resources, while authorities warn against setting up tents near unstable soil. The flooding exacerbates the humanitarian crisis amid ongoing reconstruction delays following years of conflict.
