Description

Israel’s war on Gaza has devastated drainage networks and waste management systems across the strip. Flooding is overwhelming tents and makeshift shelters, leaving families exposed to sewage and stagnant water. Heavy rain is worsening already dire living conditions for displaced Palestinians. The collapse of basic infrastructure has sharply increased health risks, including the spread of disease. Limited access to clean water and sanitation is compounding the crisis. Aid agencies warn conditions could deteriorate further without urgent repairs. Thousands remain vulnerable as winter weather intensifies across Gaza. Al Jazeera’s Ibrahim al-Khalili reports from Gaza City, Palestine.
