The World Health Organization warned on Friday that acute respiratory infections in Gaza are surging, with 33,000 more cases than at the same time last year. Heavy rains have flooded tens of thousands of tents housing displaced Palestinians, and the WHO expects conditions to worsen. Denmark separately pledged $8.9 million in humanitarian aid, including 20 million kroner ($3 million) to UNRWA for people affected by the flooding. The Israeli military said on Thursday that thousands of additional tents and winter supplies had entered Gaza over the past week, bringing the total since winter began to over 93,000, and accused Hamas of exploiting aid.
