"We woke up and found our mattresses soaked… We slept in the water.” Heavy rain flooded tents housing displaced families across Gaza this weekend, soaking mattresses and belongings and forcing tens of thousands of residents driven out by Israel’s genocide from their deteriorating camp shelters. Gaza’s Civil Defense said it fielded around 1,500 distress calls from the storm, which flooded at least 70,000 tents within a 12-hour period. More than 1.9 million Palestinians in Gaza, or roughly 85 percent of the population, have been displaced since October 2023, according to UNRWA.
