Gaza:Flooding in Gaza has left 350,000 displaced Palestinians without shelter, according to a statement from the Gaza Health Ministry. Director-General Munir al-Bursh made an urgent appeal on Sunday for shelter supplies, as people are currently sleeping in the open.

According to Anadolu Agency, al-Bursh questioned if the world is waiting "for our children to freeze," emphasizing the need for immediate action to protect children at displacement sites. He urged the opening of crossings to allow the entry of tents and reconstruction materials, noting that thousands of tents are waiting at the crossings but are being blocked by the Israeli army.

Earlier on Sunday, a landslide in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, resulted in the deaths of a woman and four children, with others injured, as reported by the Civil Defense. The search for missing people continues. Since Friday evening, heavy rain and strong winds have battered Gaza, causing severe flooding. The Government Media Office reported that 70,000 tents have flooded, and several walls damaged by previous Israeli bombardments collapsed within the storm's first 12 hours.

The Civil Defense further reported on Saturday that entire displacement camps were submerged, with water levels reaching up to 1.5 meters in some areas. The ongoing conflict, described as a genocidal war by the report, has resulted in extensive destruction of homes and infrastructure since October 2023, pushing hundreds of thousands into makeshift shelters. Despite a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas since October 10, 2025, Israeli restrictions on building materials, shelter supplies, and reconstruction equipment persist.
