Heavy rain flooded tens of thousands of tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in Gaza, with the Hamas-run government media office saying about 70,000 tents were flooded on the first day of rain. Gaza civil defense officials had earlier reported more than 1,500 distress calls and warned of an impending humanitarian crisis, and a person was trapped under a collapsed roof in Gaza City. Israel issued flood warnings for coastal cities and the Judean Desert as the storms continued. Reuters reported that no fatalities had been recorded, while the Hamas-run office said collapsed walls and roofs caused injuries, some critical. Middle East Eye reported that Israeli authorities are blocking the entry of shelter materials into Gaza, and families said failing tarpaulins and damaged buildings leave them with nowhere safe.
