Gaza: Heavy rain inundates thousands of tents
Heavy rainfall has flooded thousands of tents sheltering displaced Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, including in Deir al-Balah. Residents say overflowing sewage has mixed with the floodwater, further worsening already dire living conditions. Families are struggling to salvage their belongings, building makeshift earthen barriers and trying to drain the water by hand. Many have seen essential items soaked and rendered unusable, adding to the hardship faced by those already displaced.
