Torrential rains swept across the Gaza Strip on Friday, causing severe flooding that submerged refugee tents and washed away vital supplies in multiple displacement camps.
According to local reports, makeshift shelters—already fragile due to months of conflict—were overwhelmed as water levels rapidly rose, leaving families struggling to protect their belongings and find safe, dry ground.
Humanitarian workers say food, blankets, and medical items have been destroyed, worsening the already dire living conditions for displaced civilians. Many families spent the night attempting to drain water from their tents, while others were forced to relocate to overcrowded temporary shelters.
Emergency teams continue efforts to assist affected families, but limited resources and ongoing instability have slowed relief operations.
