Israeli strikes on Gaza are relentless as displaced endure flooded camps

Israeli forces are carrying out strikes across the Gaza Strip as they continue to violate the ceasefire agreement almost daily. With the besieged enclave still raging, displaced Palestinians are dealing with flooding and the destruction of their few remaining possessions as a result of Israel’s bloody war.

According to Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary report, Israeli airs targeted locations north of Rafah and east of Khan Younis, the Maghazi camp in central Gaza, and Beit Lahiya in the north of the Strip.

According to a report from Gaza City, Khoudary claimed that artillery shelling had been reported in the southern and central regions of the state, and that an attack had also occurred in Shujayea, a neighborhood in Gaza City, and that it had struck close to a displaced family’s tent.

She claimed that the most recent attacks, which were carried out in violation of the US-brokered ceasefire, came at a crucial time for displaced Palestinians, as heavy rain and strong winds had ravaged their temporary homes and had destroyed the few things they had left behind.

Since the ceasefire’s entry on October 10th, Israel has committed 969 violations, according to Gaza’s government media office, resulting in the deaths of 418 civilians and more than 1,100 injuries.

According to Khoudary, “Palestinians are still very traumatized and anxious.” As the rain continues, “the situation on the ground continues to deteriorate.”

On December 29, 2025, Palestinian children who have been taken from their homes in the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip are sheltered inside a flooded tent.

Aid organizations have repeatedly urged Israeli authorities to impose restrictions on entry to the area, where displaced families have been attempting to stay dry in battered, flimsy tents that have lacked protection from the elements for months.

Khoudary said, “Families here are helpless as the Israeli authorities continue to impose restrictions on all forms of shelter in the Gaza Strip.”

Officials have warned that the severe weather also presents new risks, including the risk of disease and illness as well as the risk of buildings collapsing in the presence of sluggish rain and wind.

In recent days of sweltering weather, damaged structures have caused at least two fatalities.

“We are still suffering,” the statement read.

Heavy rain in recent days east of Deir el-Balah in central Gaza has caused tents to become submerged in muddy water, destroying the few items the families had taken from their homes.

A team from Al Jazeera discovered crucial items soaked in muddy water, including pillows, mattresses, and bed covers inside the tents.

Residents’ resident Mohammed al-Louh claimed that the tent has been flooded.

“I took my family out, but I was unable to find a blanket, mattress, or bag of flour.” I can’t get my kids to sleep or keep them warm.

Another man, Haitham Arafat, claimed to have lost both his home and son to Israel’s genocidal war and was still suffering from the dire circumstances.

I made it to this location. Does this indicate that the conflict has ended? he stated.

“No, we continue to suffer. Due to the heavy rain, we haven’t slept for two days.

According to Ibrahim al-Khalili, a reporter from the camp, Palestinians who had been subjected to an humanitarian crisis as a result of the winter storms have received a new “chapter of suffering.”
