Gaza floods kill six, displace 100,000 as Oxfam urges aid access

rainews.it (Italian) —

Floods in Gaza have killed six people, including children, and displaced over 100,000, worsening the humanitarian crisis. Oxfam reports a sand embankment collapse killed a mother and five children, with heavy rains destroying tents and leaving many without shelter. The UN confirmed a newborn drowned and five others died in the collapse, while aid groups work to pump water and reinforce camps. Oxfam urges international pressure on Israel to allow unrestricted entry of essential aid and materials, noting 65% of Gaza is inaccessible. The floods compound the effects of the ongoing conflict, which has collapsed infrastructure. Oxfam calls for immediate action from the international community and Italy to support reconstruction led by Palestinians.
