> Weekend storms killed at least four Palestinian children and a woman, leaving tens of thousands in flooded, damaged tents and thousands without shelter. Aid groups say more than 940,000 people live in flood-prone areas, while 150,000 new tents await Israeli approval outside Gaza. Poor sanitation, cold and damp conditions are raising fears of disease and further child deaths from hypothermia.
