Morning recap: Rain floods tense of displaced families

Good morning, Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest updates from Gaza, where Israel continues to violate the ceasefire that ended its two-year genocidal war last month:

• Heavy rain flooded the tents of displaced families in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis on Tuesday morning, deepening the already severe hardship of displacement.

• UN official Ramiz Al-Akbarov said Gaza’s humanitarian situation remains bleak under the ongoing Israeli blockade. Many families cannot afford meat or chicken, while the UN struggles to deliver basic shelter materials and warns of critical delays as winter sets in.

• Gaza’s Civil Defence recovered the remains of 14 people from a home in Al-Maghazi camp struck by Israeli forces on Tuesday. Search teams are still working to recover the estimated thousands of bodies believed to be trapped under the rubble.
