Heavy Rains Worsen Gaza Humanitarian Crisis, Destroying Thousands of Shelters

Heavy rainfall over the weekend has severely exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with UN and aid organizations reporting widespread flooding that destroyed or damaged an estimated 70,000 tents and displaced thousands of families. At least four people, including an infant, three children, and two women, were killed in related incidents. Aid efforts are significantly hampered by limited humanitarian supplies and Israeli restrictions on essential items.
