Devastating Downpours Exacerbate Gaza's Humanitarian Crisis
Torrential rains in southern Gaza have caused flooding and disease among the thousands of displaced Palestinians living in makeshift tents. The war has already killed thousands and displaced 90% of Gaza's population. The heavy rains have exacerbated the already distressed health-care system, leading to a public health disaster. Aid operations are being jeopardized by Israel's evacuation orders, making it difficult to provide food and assistance to those in need.
