WorldDW.comHumanitarian woes worsen in Gaza as Israel and Hamas argue
Heavy rain in Gaza flooded 70,000 tents and killed at least six people including children, worsening the humanitarian crisis as peace talks remain stalled.
In war-battered Gaza, heavy rain flooded and damaged thousands of tents. Several people died. Could pressure by Trump's Board of Peace on Israel and Hamas help to ease the humanitarian crisis amid stalled peace talks?
Torrential rain in Gaza killed at least six people, flooded 70,000 tents and affected more than 200,000 displaced residents, according to UNICEF.
OCHA warned there is not enough space to relocate people from flooded areas because Israeli authorities are restricting Palestinian access behind the so-called Yellow Line.
With more than 74,600 people killed since October 2023 and most of Gaza's infrastructure destroyed, aid teams are scrambling to clear blocked sewers at 60 locations.
