Tents in Gaza flooded by heavy rains.

Heavy rains have flooded thousands of tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, causing an imminent humanitarian disaster due to severe weather conditions and damaged municipal wastewater networks. The stormwater is likely to mix with raw sewage, increasing the risk of diseases like dysentery and cholera. With inadequate aid entering Gaza, urgent international action is needed to address the severe humanitarian crisis, as the territory requires 300,000 tents and housing units to meet basic shelter needs after years of destruction by Israel’s genocidal war.
