Heavy rainfall flooded tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in Gaza, soaking bedding and belongings and turning camp pathways into muddy pools, according to Associated Press observations in Deir al-Balah.

More than 1.6 million Palestinians face harsh conditions as winter approaches, many living in tents or temporary shelters after their homes were destroyed during the war.

The humanitarian emergency has been compounded by reported Israeli violations of the ceasefire, including strikes that killed at least eight Palestinians in early November.

Aid organizations face growing calls to provide urgent shelter materials and winter assistance.
