'Everything is soaked': Rain floods Gaza tents, amid efforts to ramp up aid

Heavy winter rains have flooded makeshift tents and shelters in Gaza, leaving displaced families struggling to protect their few remaining belongings. Residents in areas like Deir al-Balah describe scenes of devastation, with children and adults wading through ankle-deep water and shelters collapsing under the weight of the downpour. Aid organizations warn that the ongoing humanitarian crisis is worsening due to slow delivery of supplies and damaged infrastructure, as most of Gaza's population remains displaced after two years of conflict. Despite some aid distributions, restrictions and shortages continue to hamper relief efforts, while the fragile ceasefire has not brought lasting stability to the region.
