I broke down while filming these scenes. I couldn't bear the scale of the suffering unfolding before my eyes. I tried my best to amplify these families' voices, but what I witnessed was beyond words.
Children soaked, tents completely flooded, and families left exposed to the cold and rain. The world is not just witnessing this tragedy; it is complicit through its silence.
Watch the report for yourselves.

🚨 HEARTBREAKING: A woman and her three children were killed last night when a large rock formation collapsed onto their tent south of Deir al-Balah Central Gaza Strip, amid the destruction and unsafe living conditions caused by Israel’s ongoing bombardment of Gaza.
🚨HORRIBLE : All attempts to rescue the two children failed.
They were buried alive under the sand after a massive sand collapse struck two displaced families’ tents in Hawoz al-Baraka camp, south of Deir al-Balah, central Gaza.
Five Palestinians, including three children, were killed, and six others remain in critical condition.

With the first winter rains in Gaza on November 6 and 7, 2026, water poured into the tents of displaced families, soaking children’s bedding and what little clothing and blankets they had left.
Within 12 hours, around 70,000 tents across the Strip were flooded, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office, and the Civil Defence received more than 1,500 distress calls from families with nowhere dry to go. Children now sleep on wet mattresses as temperatures drop, with no heating and no change of clothes. This is the fourth winter Gaza’s displaced have spent in tents.
The Israeli occupation destroyed their homes and the drainage networks that once carried rainwater away, and a year into the ceasefire it still restricts the entry of tents, tarps, insulation, caravans and building materials. Around 162,000 tents need replacing, and the winter supplies aid agencies have on hand cover only about 18 percent of families in need.

A Palestinian woman sits in despair inside her tent, which has been flooded by heavy rain following a storm that swept through the Gaza Strip and the surrounding region. The heartbreaking scene reflects the immense humanitarian suffering of displaced families, as the tents they sought refuge in for safety have become flooded shelters, with the rain deepening their tragedy amid already harsh living conditions.
سيدة فلسطينية تجلس بحسرة وسط خيمتها التي غمرتها مياه الأمطار جراء العاصفة التي ضربت قطاع غزة والمنطقة، في مشهد مؤلم يعكس حجم المعاناة الإنسانية التي يعيشها النازحون، بعدما تحولت خيامهم التي لجؤوا إليها بحثًا عن الأمان إلى أماكن تغمرها المياه، لتضاعف الأمطار مأساتهم في ظل ظروف معيشية قاسية.
