> Heavy rain flooded Jaber al-Kaseeh’s tent in az-Zawayda, soaking his family’s bedding and belongings. Gaza’s Government Media Office says more than 70,000 tents have flooded since rains began late Friday. Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians remain in flood-prone shelters as Israel continues to block mobile homes from entering Gaza.
