Gaza families struggle to recover from days of torrential rains that killed 12 people
At least 12 people died after heavy rain flooded war-damaged shelters and tents lacking winter insulation, worsening sanitation and hypothermia risks, aid groups say.
- On Tuesday, Palestinians in Gaza struggled to recover from torrential rains that left at least 12 dead, including a two-week-old baby who died in hospital, while flooding camps and collapsing damaged buildings.
- Facing widespread war damage, Gaza’s scant shelter worsened storm risks as almost 80% of buildings were damaged, leaving Gaza’s 2 million people displaced in tents or ruined buildings.
- Rainfall data and residents’ accounts detail soaked tents and muddy lanes as the downpour dumped more than 150 milliliters on some parts of Gaza, while tents and mattresses lacking insulation leave displaced camp residents exposed.
- Aid trackers and relief groups say supply gaps persist despite reported deliveries; COGAT said close to 270,000 tents and winter items entered Gaza, while Shelter Cluster tracked just 68,000 tents last week.
- Emergency workers in Gaza warned against congregating in damaged buildings, citing one collapsed home that housed 30 people, with only nine present, and a worker who died fixing walls.
