Gaza City

Around 70,000 tents sheltering tens of thousands of displaced residents are flooded after the first day of heavy rain, causing dozens of roof and wall collapses and serious injuries. Civil defence spokesman Mahmoud Bassman reports receiving more than 1,500 emergency calls during the night. Hundreds of families have fled camps in Gaza City and the central and northern Strip. The civil defence says it lacks equipment and capability to cope, and has issued an urgent appeal for international aid.

Israeli strikes killed at least four Palestinians and wounded several others in the Gaza Strip on Monday, according to Gaza health officials. Medics said two people died in separate airstrikes in Khan Younis and one in Al-Mussadar, while a vehicle strike in Gaza City's Tel Al-Hawa neighbourhood killed another. The Israeli military said it carried out two strikes targeting Palestinian militants and hit one militant in Tel Al-Hawa. Gaza health officials say at least 1,580 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire took effect.

Israeli airstrikes and fire in Gaza killed 13 people in the 24 hours to 26 Oct, Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Bassal said, with about 60 wounded. Five Palestinians, including a seven-year-old girl, were killed on 26 Oct, according to medical sources and first responders. Separately, Israeli troops fired a stun grenade on 27 Oct to disperse protesters in Hebron, where a military operation has displaced more than 3,000 Palestinians, according to the United Nations. Israel says the operation responds to a 23 Oct attack that killed two soldiers at a checkpoint. Israelis were voting in an election on 27 Oct.
