Heavy rains and storms hitting the Mediterranean coast have caused widespread flooding across Gaza, with tens of thousands of tents inundated by water. Multiple families have been left without shelter as the humanitarian crisis in the territory intensifies, with residents reporting they are ‘already overwhelmed’ just on the first day of the storm conditions.

Beyond Gaza, the severe weather has also impacted Israel, with reports of flooding and blackouts across multiple locations. Authorities in both territories are responding to emergency calls as the scale of damage from the storms becomes apparent.

The flooding compounds the existing humanitarian challenges in Gaza, where displaced populations are already living in inadequate shelter conditions. Aid organisations are mobilising resources to address the immediate needs of affected families, though access and capacity constraints may limit response efforts.
