Gaza's Civil Defence declared a maximum state of emergency after heavy rainfall and strong winds flooded tens of thousands of displacement tents across the territory, the Middle East Eye reported. Families sheltering in the camps face exposure to rising floodwaters and freezing conditions as the weather event continues.
The flooding has affected a significant portion of Gaza's displaced population, who have been living in makeshift tent settlements. Civil Defence officials have activated emergency protocols in response to the escalating humanitarian crisis.
