Gaza flood victims wait for tents as Israeli strikes continue

6 sources

Storms left tens of thousands in Gaza in flooded tents, while 150,000 shelters wait outside the territory for Israeli approval. Israeli strikes killed at least eight more people.

The storm that began on 6 November flooded or damaged 70,000 tents and affected about 350,000 people, according to Gaza's Government Media Office. On Sunday evening a sandbank collapsed at the Ard al-Ribat camp in Deir el-Balah and killed three children and a woman, Al Jazeera reports. The UN says 940,000 people live in flood-prone areas, 26,000 households have sought help and at least 3,900 have no shelter at all. Aid agencies told the Guardian that 150,000 tents are held outside Gaza awaiting Israeli approval.

Dispute over aid

The Board of Peace urged Israel on Monday to admit shelter and sanitation materials, and UN aid chief Tom Fletcher said waiting for a new Israeli government is no acceptable excuse. Netanyahu's office said Israel is committed to Trump's plan and blamed Hamas, claiming it would use "every dual-use item" for military purposes.

Strikes continue

Gaza's health ministry reported at least eight people killed and 29 wounded in 24 hours. The Palestinian Football Association says an Israeli strike on Gaza City's Sabra neighbourhood on Tuesday killed Gaza Sports Club goalkeeper Mahmoud Kamal Abdel-Malek, 20. The Israeli military, which says Hamas is regrouping, confirmed further strikes on Wednesday without giving details.
