Gaza sand embankment collapse kills four as winter rains hit displaced camps

Gaza is experiencing severe winter flooding, resulting in at least 5-6 confirmed fatalities, including children, and the displacement of an additional 10,000 to 70,000 people as tents and makeshift shelters collapse. The crisis is exacerbated by destroyed infrastructure, non-functional municipal equipment, and Israeli restrictions on humanitarian aid, with 30% of relief supplies and 150,000 replacement shelters reportedly stranded at crossings. The UN and a US-established board have criticized Israel's insufficient response, while local authorities claim over 2,000 buildings are at risk of collapse.
