BBC News (UK) @BBCNewsTens of thousands of tents flooded after heavy rains in Gaza
AFP News Agency @AFPHeavy rain on Saturday flooded tens of thousands of displaced people's tents in war-devastated Gaza, Palestinian authorities said, leaving them without shelter
Translating Falasteen (Palestine) @translatingpalโIsrael is pursuing and engineering death in Gaza. So do not be complicit.โ Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza, addresses the world after the first winter storm tore through the Strip on November 7, 2026, saying his crews lived through every scene of families flooded out of their tents but had no equipment, no machinery and no means to help them. Within 12 hours, around 70,000 tents were flooded, according to Gazaโs Government Media Office, and dozens of walls of buildings already damaged by Israeli bombardment collapsed, injuring people, some of them seriously. Civil Defence and municipal crews say they could not pump out the water or open drainage channels because of fuel shortages and broken equipment. About ten rainwater suction trucks have been held at the crossings for a year as the occupation blocks their entry, and by August municipalities said they had received no fuel for their heavy machinery since March. Diesel has become so scarce and expensive that generator owners have resorted to burning cooking oil. This is the fourth winter Gazaโs displaced have spent in tents, and a year into the ceasefire the Israeli occupation still restricts the entry of tents, tarps, caravans and building materials. โDonโt make us say that our blood didnโt move you to act,โ Basal says. โSo how are these scenes supposed to move you?โ Source: mahmoud_basal88 (IG)

Zo Brown @receipts_lolMeet the Israelis who just stole 8 homes from Palestinian families in Jericho. 1/ Rabbi Uzi Sharbaf, a mass murderer who shot up a Palestinian school while wearing a ski mask. Israel set him free. Now the Rabbi is stealing houses.
The Sameer Project @sameerprojectIt took one night of rain for entire displacement camps in Gaza to flood. Urgent help needed: This morning, tens of thousands of families are facing another day of rain without shelter. The tents they slept in yesterday are underwater. The streets they would use to reach help are flooded and impassable. We knew the tents were fragile. Even so, we were unprepared for this much destruction after the first rainfall. Families are still soaking wet, trying to salvage what they can and figure out where theyโll sleep tonight. Please donate to The Sameer Projectโs winter response and help us get emergency shelter to families who lost theirs overnight. Give to our General Fund:
