“The children don’t know where to go, and neither do the displaced.” A reporter stands in Gaza City as the first storm of winter breaks over the Strip on November 6, 2026, flooding the worn-out tents of families who have nowhere else to sleep. By dawn, entire camps were under water, from the Gaza port and al-Shati camp to the camp at al-Yarmouk stadium and Jabalia and Beit Lahia further north. Rain poured through nylon and thin fabric, soaking mattresses, blankets and clothes, and Gaza’s Civil Defence received more than 1,500 distress calls within hours. In northern Gaza, two people were injured when a wall of a building already gutted by Israeli bombardment collapsed in the downpour. This is the fourth winter Gaza’s displaced have spent in tents. The Israeli occupation destroyed their homes and still restricts the entry of tents, tarps, insulation, caravans and building materials a year into the ceasefire. Around 162,000 tents need replacing, more than a million people live in displacement sites at risk of flooding, and the winter supplies aid agencies have cover only about 18 percent of families in need.
