News 📅 7 November 2026 📍 Palestine

WAFA reported that heavy rain flooded thousands of displacement tents and injured two people when a wall weakened by earlier bombardment collapsed in northern Gaza. The Gaza Civil Defense, cited by the Palestinian Information Center, said it received about 1,500 distress calls in 10 hours and recorded water levels of 30–40 centimetres at some shelter sites. Gaza’s health minister warned that flooding, damaged sanitation and overcrowding raised disease risks. The counts are attributed to their respective Palestinian agencies and officials.
