Overview
- Rescue services and hospital morgues report at least 13 storm-related deaths since Thursday, including infants who died of hypothermia.
- Gaza authorities say more than 27,000 displacement tents were flooded, destroyed or blown away and emergency teams recorded about 4,300 calls for help.
- OCHA estimates roughly 850,000 people are sheltering in 761 sites highly vulnerable to flooding as broken sewage and drainage systems leave camps waterlogged.
- UNRWA says it has shelter supplies for over one million people positioned outside Gaza but remains barred from bringing them in, calling the refusal a political decision.
- Aid groups report shortfalls in winterized shelter, pumps and heavy machinery and say the 600‑trucks‑per‑day target is not being met, a claim Israel disputes, while WHO warns of rising respiratory and diarrhoeal illnesses and severe medicine shortages.
