GAZA, PALESTINE - NOVEMBER 15, 2025: Heavy rains flooded dozens of tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, on Saturday.

The Gaza Civil Defense said in a statement that its teams responded to the situation after dozens of tents in the refugee camps were submerged in rainwater in several areas of Al-Mawasi, western Khan Younis.

Since early Friday, the Gaza Strip has been under a low-pressure system accompanied by a cold air mass and heavy rainfall, compounding the suffering of 1.5 million displaced people affected by the two-year-long Israeli genocide in the besieged enclave.

According to the Gaza Government Media Office estimates, 93% of all displacement tents are no longer suitable for shelter—125,000 out of a total of 135,000—due to weather factors and damage sustained from Israeli bombardment.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) called Saturday for the entry of sheltering materials into the war-torn Gaza Strip as heavy rains flood tents of displaced civilians amid dire humanitarian conditions.

Israel continues to block the entry of shelter materials such as tents and mobile homes, reneging on its obligations under a ceasefire agreement that entered into force on Oct. 10.

Israel has killed more than 69,000 people, mostly women and children, in its genocide in Gaza since October 2023 and reduced the enclave to rubble.
