Gaza floods leave tents under water as Israeli strikes go on

10 sources

A winter storm flooded tens of thousands of tents in Gaza, and the Board of Peace and UNICEF warn of disease. Israeli fire killed at least six more Palestinians on Tuesday.

The first strong storm of the season, over the weekend, flooded about 70,000 tents within 12 hours, according to Gaza's Government Media Office. A collapsing sand embankment killed four people, including three small children, Reuters reports; the Media Office counts at least five dead. On Monday, 9 November, the Board of Peace called the floods an immediate humanitarian emergency. It urged Israel to let in shelter materials and said Hamas should lay down its arms.

Basin repairs rejected

UNICEF's James Elder said on Tuesday that Israel's military agency COGAT rejected a $3 million plan to repair the Sheikh Radwan stormwater basin in Gaza City, which is contaminated with sewage. The WHO says nearly 1 million displaced people face medium or high flood risk. Israel's Prime Minister's Office says it facilitated a winterization plan and accuses Hamas of exploiting the suffering.

Deadly fire despite ceasefire

Israeli strikes and gunfire killed six to eight Palestinians on Tuesday, medics say, among them Fadi Rajab and his 13-year-old son in Zeitoun. The Israeli army says it hit military targets. Gaza's Health Ministry counts more than 1,600 dead since the ceasefire of 10 October 2025.

UAE sends tents

The ruler of Dubai ordered tents to shelter 50,000 people in Gaza, the Dubai Media Office said.

Other opinions

Jerusalem Post and Israel's government put the blame on Hamas, while Al Jazeera cites Gaza authorities saying Israel blocks 200,000 tents and 60,000 mobile homes.
