Gaza floods kill four displaced people, including three children

avvenire.it (Italian) —

Heavy rains in Gaza have caused catastrophic flooding, killing four displaced people, including three children and a pregnant woman, when a dune collapsed onto their tent. The flooding has affected over 70,000 tents and 26,000 families, according to local authorities and the UN. Father Gabriel Romanelli, parish priest of the Holy Family church, described the situation as catastrophic, noting that tents are merely plastic scraps offering little protection. Hospitals have received 3 dead and 15 injured in the past two days, while aid group Emergency treats 400-600 patients daily. The flooding mixes with sewage and waste, creating hazardous conditions as Gaza prepares for its fourth winter under makeshift shelters. Reconstruction remains stalled amid negotiations over Hamas disarmament and Israeli withdrawal, with no clear timeline for the war's end.
