News 📅 8 November 2026 📍 Palestine

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that heavy rain from 6 November through the weekend flooded displacement sites, damaged shelters and services, and collapsed already damaged buildings. By 8 November, partners had received appeals from more than 26,000 households; cluster estimates cited by OCHA counted over 6,000 family shelters destroyed and 17,400 damaged. Humanitarian stocks of tents, tarpaulins and blankets inside Gaza were described as virtually exhausted, while more than 150,000 tents were outside Gaza awaiting dispatch. OCHA said Israeli restrictions on supplies and equipment and funding gaps had constrained preparedness; its figures were preliminary and subject to verification.
