Heavy rains flooded shelters and tents of tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, according to Al Jazeera, and the Civil Defence declared a maximum state of emergency, with at least 1,500 emergency calls and more than 2,000 buildings at risk of collapse.

According to Al Mayadeen, the Civil Defence answered only 218 of 2,166 distress calls, with water reaching one and a half meters in some places. The agency says at least 300,000 tents are needed.
