00:02Three children and two women died in tents housing displaced people in Gaza on Saturday
00:08after heavy rain caused a Sandy embankment to collapse onto them.
00:12The incident took place at a shelter center south of the Albala in the central Gaza Strip.
00:18The storm left tens of thousands of displaced Gazans without any form of shelter,
00:24according to local authorities.
00:41The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in an October report
00:47that an estimated 950,000 displaced Palestinians were living in sites at medium to high risk of flooding,
00:54including more than 400,000 in areas considered at high risk.
01:00It is a very difficult time to watch, especially after so many years of displacement.
01:05The greatest needs, I do believe, remains to be shelter materials,
01:11ones that have strength and have the durability to them.
01:15A fragile ceasefire came into effect in Gaza in October 2025,
01:20but the Israeli military has continued attacks on the territory,
01:24killing at least 1,400 people since then.
