Sandbank collapse kills four in Gaza camp during heavy rains

A sandbank collapse in Gaza killed four people, including three children, and injured six others. The collapse occurred during heavy rainfall near Deir al-Balah in southern Gaza. The victims were a woman, her two children aged 8 and 6, and a separate 4-year-old child. Displaced families had pitched tents beside the sandbank for protection, but it collapsed onto three tents, burying them completely. Gaza's rainy season has caused severe flooding, with some areas submerged up to 1.5 meters. Over 70,000 tents were flooded, and more than 26,000 households reported damage, displacing an additional 600 families.
