Gaza's Misery Deepens as Heavy Rains Flood Makeshift Camps
TL;DR
Heavy winter rains have caused flooding and worsened living conditions in Gaza, which the head of the UN's agency for Palestinian refugees describes as a "living hell". The deteriorating situation includes shortages of food, communicable diseases, and a collapsing health system. Israel has also announced the loss of nine soldiers, including two senior commanders, in a Hamas ambush. The ongoing conflict has displaced nearly 85% of Gaza's population, leaving many without proper shelter and struggling to survive.
