> UN humanitarian officials say shelter conditions for most people in Gaza have deteriorated to critical or catastrophic levels as the rainy season begins. About 1.2 million people, or 58% of the population, are affected, while more than 65% of assessed families live in tents or makeshift shelters. A damaged residential building partly collapsed in Gaza City; children were rescued and only minor injuries were reported.
