Overview
- Heavy rain and strong winds over the weekend flooded displacement camps across Gaza, soaking tents and belongings and turning tracks into streams.
- Meteorologists described a third polar low striking the territory with another low expected, raising fears of renewed flooding and collapses.
- Authorities report multiple weather-related deaths, including infants, and a 30-year-old woman, Alaa Marwan Juha, killed when a damaged wall fell onto her tent in Gaza City.
- With nearly 80% of buildings damaged and roughly 1.5 million people homeless, overflowing sewage and contaminated floodwater are heightening disease risks.
- Aid groups say shelter supplies fall far short of needs, citing about 72,000 tents and 403,000 tarps delivered since the truce, while Israel reports truck totals but does not detail tent numbers, and ceasefire phase-two talks continue as Netanyahu heads to meet President Trump.
