Al Jazeera reported that strong winds also damaged tents across Gaza. The flooding has added to the immediate risks facing people living in makeshift shelters, although the supplied reports do not establish the total number of people affected or the full geographic extent of the damage.
The Hamas-run government media office said about 70,000 tents sheltering tens of thousands of displaced people were flooded on the first day of rain, The Hindu reported. That figure was not independently quantified in the supplied material.
Gaza Civil Defence said it received 1,500 distress calls over 10 hours as a storm swept through displacement camps, according to Al Jazeera. The available reports describe flooding and damage but do not establish casualties or provide a comprehensive assessment of material losses.
