The collapse of a sand embankment onto a tent camp in central Gaza Strip after heavy rains claimed the lives of a woman and three small children. Five other people were injured. The casualties were reported by local health authorities, which are controlled by Hamas. RTE News ↗
Rain hit the Gaza Strip over several days, worsening conditions in camps for people displaced by the war. Sand mounds and earthen embankments became dangerous once soaked, with civil defense warning residents not to set up tents near them. n-tv ↗
Reports on the death toll vary. Some authorities and media outlets reported four dead, while others reported five Palestinian victims of the rains and subsequent flooding. However, they agree that among the confirmed victims were three children and one woman. Der Standard ↗
The United Nations has described conditions in the Gaza Strip as uninhabitable. Approximately 1.2 million people live in tent camps and makeshift shelters, facing a lack of protection from cold and rain. El Mundo ↗
Authorities have not yet reported the full extent of the damage or the exact number of people who had to leave the camp after the embankment collapsed. Further developments will depend on whether the rains continue and on the possibility of moving displaced residents to safer shelters.
