Gaza floods trigger civil defence emergency as thousands of tents submerged

Heavy rainfall and strong winds have flooded tens of thousands of displacement tents across Gaza, prompting the civil defence to declare a maximum state of emergency. Rescue teams, already overwhelmed by limited resources, have received over 2,000 distress calls but can only respond to about a tenth of them, leaving families exposed to rising waters and freezing conditions. The event compounds an already severe humanitarian crisis in the enclave, with inadequate shelter and infrastructure worsening the impact.
