Overview
- Gaza authorities warn more war‑damaged buildings could fail in heavy rain, with at least 12 people killed after two collapses on Friday.
- Flooding swept through displacement sites as tens of thousands of tents were inundated or destroyed, and local reports include deaths from exposure.
- Civil Defence cites critical shortfalls of heavy machinery, fuel and rescue gear, reporting more than 2,500 distress calls during the storm.
- Officials estimate about 9,000 bodies remain under rubble from earlier strikes, and limited equipment slowed recoveries, including remains retrieved from a 2023 bombing site.
- Aid deliveries remain far below pledged levels, and Gaza Civil Defence is urging provision of mobile homes and caravans in place of tents.
