Heavy rain has flooded makeshift camps in Gaza, leaving displaced Palestinians without shelter as winter approaches, with tents reported as submerged. A sand embankment collapse onto tents killed four people, including three children, the health ministry said. UN News, citing the UN aid coordination office OCHA, reported a higher toll of five people killed, including three children, and said an infant reportedly drowned when a sand dune collapsed on tents as the first heavy rains swept the enclave. The two accounts differ on the death toll. BBC World reported the collapse came a day after heavy rain reportedly flooded tens of thousands of tents across Gaza. France 24 reported that more than three years after the start of the war, many displaced people remain left out in the cold.
