Gaza's Misery Deepens as Heavy Rains Flood Makeshift Camps
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.
