Gaza:The Israeli occupation army reportedly violated the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, coinciding with severe weather that flooded tents housing displaced families across the region.
According to Palestine Info Center, Israeli tanks fired heavily in the south of Khan Yunis and targeted displacement tents in the al-Mawasi area of Rafah in southern Gaza.
The Government Media Office in Gaza reported that approximately 70,000 tents, which provide shelter to displaced Palestinians, were flooded within a 12-hour period during the season's first winter storm. The heavy rains led to the collapse of dozens of walls, injuries to several individuals, and the emergence of a growing threat from cracked buildings that are at risk of collapsing.
Gaza's civil defense service received about 1,500 distress calls in just 10 hours after the onset of the rain early on Saturday. The water levels in several shelter sites have risen by 30-40 centimeters, exacerbating the challenges faced by the affected populations.
