A woman was killed and five people were injured when a sand cliff collapsed onto tents housing displaced civilians in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, on Sunday evening. Rescue teams extracted five injured individuals alive from the rubble, while the body of the woman was recovered. Search efforts are ongoing for a missing child.
The incident occurred amidst worsening conditions for displaced Gazans, as heavy rains and a low-pressure system have caused tents to flood and shelters to be damaged. National and international organizations have warned of the danger posed by over 2,000 damaged, cracked, and dilapidated buildings that are at risk of collapse, especially with continued rainfall and wind, threatening the lives of residents in or near these structures. Calls have been made for urgent intervention to provide safe shelter and winter supplies.
