❗️Sand embankment in Gaza collapses and crushes displacement tents, killing five Palestinians, including children Five Palestinians, including three children and two women, were killed in central Gaza after heavy winter downpours triggered the collapse of a sand cliff onto makeshift displacement tents. The structural collapse occurred in Deir al-Balah, where hundreds of displaced families have been forced to settle in unstable coastal dunes lacking basic infrastructure due to the ongoing Israeli blockade. According to medical sources quoted by WAFA and reports by Gaza’s Civil Defense, the collapse buried multiple families under heavy sand and debris, leaving several others injured and requiring ongoing extraction efforts by rescue teams and local residents. The tragedy compounds an accelerating humanitarian crisis across the Gaza Strip as a severe winter storm inundates makeshift camps with floodwaters.
