Gaza storm kills six, floods 70,000 tents; Egypt urges caravans for aid

A severe storm in Gaza has killed six people, including five children when sand collapsed on a tent in Deir al-Balah, according to Egypt's committee spokesperson. The official appealed for international help. The storm flooded approximately 70,000 tents with water levels exceeding one meter, raising fears of sewage contamination and disease spread. Egyptian emergency teams are working across five governorates to assist displaced families. The spokesperson urged the global community to send caravans instead of worn-out tents, along with blankets, children's clothing, and medical supplies. He noted Israel is obstructing aid deliveries while Egypt continues providing support.
