Winter storm floods 70,000 Gaza tents in 12 hours

Gaza's first winter storm flooded around 70,000 displaced Palestinian tents within 12 hours, causing an estimated $3 million in losses. Rescue teams received 1,500 distress calls, water levels rose 30–40 cm at camps, walls collapsed, and al-Shifa hospital's emergency unit was flooded. Gaza's Government Media Office held Israel responsible and urged UN intervention.
