Severe Storms in Gaza Result in 14 Deaths, Highlighting Humanitarian Crisis
Severe weather conditions in Gaza over the past 72 hours have resulted in the deaths of 14 people, including three children, according to Munir Al-Boursh, the director general of the Gaza-based Health Ministry. The storms have exacerbated the already dire living conditions for many Palestinians who have been displaced by a two-year conflict that left much of the region in ruins. Thousands of tents and temporary shelters have been flooded, leaving residents wading through sewage, mud, and debris. Aid group Oxfam has criticized the systematic obstruction of aid, which has left many without proper shelter. The situation has been described as a 'complex humanitarian disaster' affecting at least 250,000 people, according to the Hamas-run government media office.
