Gaza, November 9, 2026 (WAFA) – Three Palestinians were injured on Monday after a wall of a house collapsed onto a tent sheltering displaced people in the Al-Mufti area, north of Nuseirat refugee camp, in the central genocide-stricken Gaza Strip.

Since Friday evening, torrential rains and strong winds have hit the Gaza Strip, worsening the suffering of displaced people living in worn-out tents and leaving displaced families exposed to rising floodwaters, freezing conditions and worsening humanitarian needs.

Gaza's Civil Defence declared a maximum state of emergency as overwhelmed rescue teams struggled to respond to thousands of distress calls amid limited resources and inadequate shelter. Rescue teams received over 2000 distress calls since the storm began, while only having capacity to respond to a tenth of the calls received.

Medical sources estimate that around 350,000 displaced Palestinians are sleeping in the open after their tents were flooded by the severe storm.

They added that thousands of tents are waiting at the crossings, but the Israeli occupation forces are preventing them from entering, while 350,000 displaced people are left exposed to the elements because of the storm.

On Sunday, a woman and four children were killed and others injured when a landslide involving sand and rocks collapsed onto tents sheltering displaced people in Deir al-Balah, in the central Strip.
