Gaza's government said more than 2,000 buildings face collapse risk following severe flooding, with approximately 400,000 people displaced from vulnerable areas, Al Jazeera English reported. Heavy rains have inundated the territory, compounding an already dire humanitarian situation following months of conflict.
The flooding has added to mounting displacement crises across Palestinian territories, as the Gaza strip battles water damage alongside existing infrastructure devastation and acute shortages of food, medicine, and fuel.
