Tents turn into graves: a new tragedy strikes Gaza's displaced

Deir al-Balah, Palestine ·

Gaza's civil defence agency said five people, including three children, were killed and others injured when a sand dune collapsed onto displaced people's tents south of Deir al-Balah. Heavy rain has flooded tens of thousands of tents across the strip.

Much of Gaza's population has been displaced into tent camps during the war between Israel and Hamas that began in October 2023, and winter rains often flood these shelters.
