Tents Flooded in Gaza; Aid Access Requested from Israel

Severe weather is exacerbating the plight of displaced Palestinians in Gaza, who are enduring harsh conditions in makeshift shelters following relentless bombardments and a blockade by Israel. Recent heavy rains have flooded flimsy tents and created contaminated floodwaters, leading to at least 15 deaths from hypothermia and increased disease risks. Despite a ceasefire, Israeli attacks continue, with over 414 Palestinians killed since its implementation, highlighting the dire humanitarian situation. Aid groups are urging the international community to pressure Israel to allow sufficient humanitarian aid into the territory.
