Summary

A sand embankment collapsed onto tents housing displaced families in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, during heavy rain and strong winds from the region's first winter storm. Five people were killed, including children, and six others were injured. Reports differ on the exact breakdown of the dead, and one account cites a woman and three children. Some 70,000 tents were flooded or damaged across Gaza, and roughly 100,000 people were displaced, according to aid groups. Rescue efforts were hampered by a shortage of equipment and resources. Aid organisations say Israeli restrictions on shelter materials and reconstruction supplies worsen conditions for displaced people living in tents and improvised shelters.
