News 📅 10 November 2026 📍 Palestine

In an interview with Anadolu, Gaza Government Media Office director Ismail al-Thawabta warned that further storms could cause renewed flooding unless supplies and equipment are allowed in to repair Gaza’s drainage networks. He said 70,000 tents were flooded within 12 hours and estimated direct losses at $3 million; both figures are estimates attributed to the Gaza Government Media Office. Ahram Online separately reported that an Egyptian relief committee replaced flooded tents and reopened paths on 9 November, while also attributing the tent figure to the media office. This is a new warning about flood risk and repair access, following storm damage already reported in this workbook.
