Summary

Heavy rain and storms flooded tens of thousands of tents housing displaced Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, including areas near Gaza City's port and Rafah Muwasi. The Hamas-run government media office reported at least 70,000 tents flooded, and Gaza's civil defence logged about 1,500 distress calls. Two people were injured, according to reports, when a wall collapsed in the northern Strip. Municipal and civil defence officials said fuel shortages and damaged equipment hampered the response. Hamas blamed Israel for restricting shelter and construction materials; the Israeli military body COGAT said it had increased sanitation efforts with international organizations and brought in pumping trucks. Accounts differ on the scale of the aid shortfall and on the causes.
