Five people were killed in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday by Israeli military fire, according to Palestinian reports. Al Jazeera reported three deaths from an Israeli strike in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City, citing a statement from Al-Shifa Hospital. Another fatality and several injuries were reported from an Israeli drone strike in the Al-Naser neighborhood of the city. An additional person was killed by IDF fire east of the Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. Yesterday, reports indicated three people were killed and 16 injured in IDF strikes across the Strip, including a child shot by the army near Khan Younis in an area not under Israeli control. Al-Jazeera also reported two deaths from a drone strike in the Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.
The Civil Defense in Gaza announced yesterday that most of its vehicles in the central and Gaza City areas are out of service due to a lack of spare parts, leaving only one rescue vehicle operational for humanitarian missions. Two fire trucks in Al-Bureij and Nusayrat, and an ambulance in Deir al-Balah, are also non-operational, along with two fire trucks and two rescue vehicles in Gaza City.
A report released yesterday by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) stated that approximately 200,000 people in Gaza suffered from floods and required assistance due to recent rains. The report noted that around 40,000 tents, over 900 sanitation facilities, and nine medical facilities were flooded or severely damaged. OCHA blamed Israel for restricting civilians' ability to evacuate flooded areas, warning that there is insufficient space for displaced residents or those living in buildings at risk of collapse. According to the UN, this dire situation is exacerbated by Israel limiting Gazans' access to areas east of the "Green Line," which is controlled by the IDF, rendering most of the Gaza Strip a no-go zone.
Separately, on Sunday night, a mother and her two children were killed in Deir al-Balah when a sand dune collapsed on their tent. Two other individuals died that stormy night. Recent social media footage shows children in Gaza struggling with floodwaters and standing exposed in the rain after their tents collapsed.
