Hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Gaza are facing severe flooding after heavy rains swept through the region, inundating makeshift shelters and tents. The United Nations International Organization for Migration reports that nearly 795,000 people are at risk, with many living in unsafe, rubble-filled areas lacking proper drainage and waste management, increasing the threat of disease. Efforts to reinforce shelters with materials like timber, plywood, and sandbags have been hampered by access restrictions, leaving families vulnerable as emergency supplies prove inadequate against the flooding. The ongoing conflict has destroyed much of Gaza's infrastructure, and officials warn that at least 300,000 new tents are urgently needed for the displaced population.
