Heavy rainfall flooded thousands of tents sheltering displaced Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, including in Deir al-Balah, according to France 24. Residents said overflowing sewage has mixed with the floodwater, worsening already dire living conditions. Families are building makeshift earthen barriers and draining water by hand, and many have seen essential items soaked and rendered unusable. The flooding adds to the hardship faced by people already displaced by the war.
