Heavy rains and flooding in Gaza Strip cause deaths and exacerbate humanitarian crisis

Heavy rains and flooding have severely impacted the Gaza Strip, leading to at least six Palestinian deaths on November 10, 2026, and the collapse of a sandbank on tents in Deir el-Balah on November 8, killing four children and a woman. The emergency department at al-Shifa Medical Complex was flooded, and Gaza's emergency committee estimates 200,000 tents are needed for over one million displaced people, while humanitarian stocks are exhausted.
