Gaza Flooding Crisis: UN Warns of Disease Outbreaks
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
Heavy rains in Gaza cause widespread flooding, with hundreds of thousands of displaced people living in tents and makeshift shelters. Essential materials like sandbags and shelter supplies are not being allowed into the enclave, worsening the crisis. At least twelve people have died or gone missing, and thirteen buildings have collapsed. The lack of proper drainage and waste management increases the risk of disease outbreaks. Materials crucial for reinforcing shelters have been delayed due to access restrictions. Residents like Youssef Tawtah are struggling with ankle-deep water inside their tents, soaking everything from mattresses to clothes. The situation remains critical for the approximately one point five million people still displaced.
