<<Flooding in Gaza compounds hardship of people displaced by Israeli attacks
Gaza's Government Media Office says about 10,000 tents either washed away or were damaged due to the storm.
Heavy rains have flooded tent encampments of displaced Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, adding misery to communities already devastated by 13 months of war, as Israeli forces stepped up attacks in the enclave. Downpours overnight inundated tents and in some places washed away the plastic and cloth shelters used by displaced people in the enclave, most of whom have been uprooted several times during the war between Israel and Hamas. Some placed water buckets on the ground to protect mats from leaks and dug trenches to drain water away from their tents. "We left the north and survived the bombings. We left after the siege. But now the rain and cold are killing us. I’ve been sick for three days," Ahmad, a displaced resident of Jabalia, northern Gaza, told Al Jazeera in a tent camp in Yarmouk Stadium in Gaza City. "We were affected by the rain. Our children were soaked. Our clothes got wet and we have nothing to protect ourselves, just the tent," said Um Mohammad Marouf, a displaced Beit Lahiya resident.
Many tents used in the early stages of Israel's war in Gaza have now worn out and no longer offer protection. The price of new tents and plastic sheeting has also shot up beyond the means of displaced families. On Monday, Gaza's Government Media Office said in a statement that about 10,000 tents were either washed away or damaged due to the storm, appealing for international help to provide displaced families with tents to shield them against the rain and cold. "According to government field assessment teams, 81 percent of the displaced persons' tents are no longer usable. Out of 135,000 tents, 110,000 are completely worn out and urgently need replacement," it said. Reporting from Deir el-Balah, in central Gaza, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud said many tent sites are near the coast and are not designed to withstand "these horrific conditions", especially as colder weather approaches. "The rising tide has damaged many of these tents, leaving people with little hope and no dry clothes to protect themselves," he said. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has warned that half a million people across the besieged enclave are at risk in areas hit by flooding. "The situation will only get worse with every drop of rain, every bomb, every strike," the agency said on X.
Meanwhile on Monday, Israeli attacks intensified across the enclave. In Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, an Israeli air attack killed at least four people, medics said, while tanks deepened their incursions in Beit Hanoon, Beit Lahiya, and Jabalia - the largest of the enclave's eight historic refugee camps. Medics said seven Palestinian people were also killed by two Israeli air attacks in Jabalia. Residents in Gaza said Israeli planes also dropped new leaflets on Beit Lahiya ordering remaining residents to leave the northern city for the south, saying the area would come under attack and providing them with a map. Palestinian people say Israel appears determined to depopulate the area permanently to create a buffer zone along the northern edge of Gaza. Israel has repeatedly denied this accusation.
Israel's war in Gaza has killed at least 44,235 Palestinians and wounded 104,638 since October 7, 2023.
An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day and more than 200 were taken captive.>>

<<Targeting humanitarians? More aid workers killed in 2024 than ever
This is the most lethal year to be a humanitarian worker. Of 281 aid workers killed, most have been in Palestine.
More aid workers have been killed in 2024 than in any other year on record, the United Nations has said.
At least 281 aid workers have been killed across 19 countries, surpassing the previous record of 280 aid workers killed in 2023, according to data from the Aid Worker Security Database (AWDS). Nearly two-thirds (178) of humanitarian workers killed were in Palestine. Israel killed 175 aid workers in Gaza and three in the occupied West Bank. Since October 7, 2023, at least 333 humanitarian workers in Gaza have been killed in Israeli attacks, according to the UN.
The lifesaving work aid workers do
Aid workers, also called humanitarian workers, are critical in delivering life-saving assistance to communities affected by crises such as conflicts, natural disasters or poverty. They distribute food, provide shelter, offer medical care, ensure access to clean water and sanitation, and deliver other essential crisis management services.
Second phase of polio vaccination campaign begins in Gaza
Humanitarian workers usually work with not-for-profit organisations, including UN agencies, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), as well as international and national nongovernmental organisations (NGOs).
The majority of aid workers are local staff who play a central role in delivering assistance, supported by international workers who provide additional expertise and resources. In Gaza, most aid workers are employed by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). Since October 7, at least 243 of UNRWA's 13,000 staff members have been killed - one out of every 50 employees - the highest staff death toll in UN history.
Threats to aid workers worldwide
Outside Palestine, at least 103 aid workers have been killed this year, including 25 in Sudan, 11 in Ukraine and 11 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). "They show the best interest humanity has to offer. And they are getting killed, in record numbers, in return," OCHA spokesperson Jens Laerke told reporters on Friday at a briefing in Geneva. "States and parties to conflict must protect humanitarians, uphold international law, prosecute those responsible and call time on this era of impunity," Tom Fletcher, UN under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator concluded.>>

Heavy rains flood tents in Gaza, bringing further misery to Palestinians
Food and other items spoiled as hundreds of tents for displaced Palestinians flooded amid ongoing Israeli onslaught. Heavy rain has flooded tents for displaced Palestinians across Gaza, bringing more misery to 2.3 million people who have been facing nonstop Israeli bombardment since last October. "We ran in the middle of the night, the rainwater flooded the tent, the food is gone, the kids screamed and I am afraid they will get sick," said Rami, 37, a Gaza City man displaced at a former football stadium. The Palestinian Civil Defence said thousands of displaced people were affected by the seasonal flooding and demanded new tents and caravans from aid donors to shield them. "Rainfall has caused severe damage to tents housing thousands of displaced people with water flowing inside the tents and damaging luggage and mattresses," Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal said in a statement on Sunday. "The current situation signals a real humanitarian catastrophe if immediate intervention does not take place," he warned. The spokesman appealed to the United Nations and the international community to quickly intervene to provide tents and caravans for displaced civilians in Gaza during winter. Israel's genocidal war on Gaza has killed more than 44,000 people, and uprooted nearly the entire population at least once while reducing wide swaths of the narrow coastal territory to rubble. On Thursday, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice over its brutal war on Gaza.>>

<<Israeli attacks kill six across Gaza, army issues new 'evacuation order'
Kamal Adwan Hospital director Hussam Abu Safia was injured in an Israeli drone attack on the facility.
At least six people have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza amid a new so-called evacuation order issued by Israeli forces in a Gaza City suburb. On Sunday, Israeli attacks have so far killed one person in Nuseirat and two in Maghazi, both in central Gaza, as well as three people in Rafah, southern Gaza. In northern Gaza, which Israeli forces have besieged since early October, Gaza’s Ministry of Health said the Kamal Adwan Hospital was attacked, injuring its director, Hussam Abu Safia. In a video circulated by the ministry on Sunday, Abu Safia said the Israeli drone attack would "not stop us from completing our humanitarian mission and we will continue to do this job at any cost. We are being targeted daily. They targeted me a while ago but this will not deter us," he said from his hospital bed. Gaza Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal told the AFP news agency that Abu Safia suffered an injury to his back and left thigh due to metal fragments but that he was now in a "stable" condition in hospital.
Kamal Adwan Hospital is one of the three hospitals that are barely operating in northern Gaza after Israeli forces detained and expelled medical staff and prevented emergency medical equipment from reaching. Reporting from Deir el-Balah, central Gaza, Al Jazeera's Hind Khoudary said the attack on Abu Safia was typical of Israeli attacks on Palestinians in intensive care units in northern Gaza, unable to receive medical aid due to a blockade.
"In the northern Gaza Strip, there are no civil defence teams, ambulances or paramedics. This is also adding more misery because even if you can get the chance for anyone to help rescue you, there are no teams to help you or save your life," Khoudary said. In the past few weeks, Israel has said it facilitated the delivery of medical and fuel supplies to northern Gaza, but the amount of aid going in is still below the needs of the residents. In Jabalia, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoon, towns in northern Gaza that are being heavily attacked, residents told the Reuters news agency that Israeli forces had blown up hundreds of houses in the latest attacks. Palestinians in Gaza say Israeli tactics seem to be directed at depopulating the area completely and creating a buffer zone, a claim denied by Israel.
Gaza's Health Ministry said on Sunday that at least 44,211 people have been killed in Israeli attacks, and 104,567 others have been wounded.
Forced displacement
Meanwhile, the Israeli army issued evacuation orders in the Shejaia suburb of eastern Gaza City on Sunday. <For your safety, you must evacuate immediately to the south,> army spokesperson Avichay Adraee wrote on X. Adraee's address came after Hamas claimed a rocket volley on Saturday, which it said had targeted an Israeli army base over the border. On social media, footage showed Palestinians leaving Shejaia on donkey carts and rickshaws moving to southern Gaza. Since the war began 13 months ago, Israel has issued several evacuation orders, each time forcing Palestinians to move from places previously designated as <safe zones>. The orders have been criticised as effectively being tantamount to the forced displacement of Palestinians.>>

<<Israel sanctions Haaretz due to articles that <hurt> Israeli state
The Haaretz newspaper called the decision 'another step in Netanyahu's journey to dismantle Israeli democracy'.
Israel has approved a resolution to cut ties with the Israeli news outlet Haaretz and ban government funding bodies from communicating or placing advertisements with the newspaper. The government said its decision was due to <many articles that have hurt the legitimacy of the state of Israel and its right to self-defence, and particularly the remarks made in London by Haaretz publisher Amos Schocken that support terrorism and call for imposing sanctions on the government,> Haaretz reported on Sunday. The left-leaning news outlet added that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved the decision, which did not appear on the government's agenda for the weekly cabinet meeting. In response to the decision, Haaretz said it was an "opportunist resolution to boycott Haaretz, which passed in today's government meeting without any legal review ... [and] another step in Netanyahu's journey to dismantle Israeli democracy. Like his friends [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, [Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan, and [Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor] Orban, Netanyahu is trying to silence a critical, independent newspaper. Haaretz will not balk and will not morph into a government pamphlet that publishes messages approved by the government and its leader," the outlet added. Haaretz columnist Gideon Levy told Al Jazeera that the government sanctions on the outlet "send a very bad message, both politically and morally". "Many view it [Haaretz] as the only newspaper in Israel because, especially [in] this war, almost all the media outlets totally recruited themselves to the narrative of the government and the army," and did not show Israelis what was happening in Gaza, he said. The government's dispute with the organisation intensified last month at a conference in London, where publisher Schocken said Netanyahu's government did not care about "imposing a cruel apartheid regime on the Palestinian population. It dismisses the costs of both sides for defending the settlements while fighting the Palestinian freedom fighters that Israel calls 'terrorists'," he added. Following an Israeli public outcry over the comments, Schocken said that his mention of Palestinian freedom fighters did not mean Hamas. However, Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, who proposed the sanctioning of the news outlet, launched a renewed campaign against Haaretz, calling for a boycott of the newspaper. Last year, Karhi approached the Israeli cabinet secretary with a draft resolution to halt all subscriptions to Haaretz by state employees, including the army. Israel has clamped down on the media as the war continues, and has killed dozens of Palestinian journalists in Gaza, including Al Jazeera's Ismail al-Ghoul, Rami al-Rifi, Samir Abudaqa, and Hamza Dahdouh. Several other Al Jazeera journalists have been threatened by Israel, and the network has been forced to shut its bureaus in Israel and the occupied West Bank.>>

Suddenly, a voice from the dead. M., my good friend from the Gaza Strip, whose name flickers on the cellphone screen, answers the phone. I have goosebumps all over. Over the past year I've tried calling him on and off, convinced he'd been killed. But suddenly, I hear a voice from the dead. M. is living in a tent in the Muwasi displaced-persons camp together with other surviving family members. It's the best news I've heard lately.>>
