Heavy winter storms flooded Gaza’s tent camps on Friday, collapsing shelters and soaking families already displaced by Israel’s war. Streets in Gaza City turned into rivers of mud and rubble as rain poured into makeshift tents. Parents described children waking up drenched with no dry clothes, food, or protection. Civil Defense reported widespread distress calls across Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, and Nuseirat. The UN says nearly 1.5 million people need emergency shelter, yet Israel continues to block tents, caravans, and other shelter aid in violation of the ceasefire. Hospitals also flooded, forcing staff to evacuate malnourished children to higher floors. The full report by @AbdSabbah91 in Gaza and @sharifkouddous is linked below. 🎥 Footage by @AbdSabbah91

🚨The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights says it has collected new testimonies from recently released captives and documented systematic sexual torture of Palestinian detainees, including rape, forced stripping, and filming, describing it as part of Israel’s broader campaign to destroy human dignity in Gaza. Among the cases is N.A., a 42-year-old mother from northern Gaza, who told PCHR she was raped four times by Israeli soldiers and subjected to repeated torture and humiliation in detention after she was detained while passing through an Israeli checkpoint set up in northern Gaza in November 2024. 📌 Her testimony in full: “At dawn I heard the soldiers shouting, saying that morning prayers were forbidden, and I think it was the fourth day after my arrest from Gaza. The soldiers moved me to a place I didn’t know because my eyes were blindfolded, and they ordered me to take off my clothes. I did so. They put me on a metal table, pressed my chest and head against it, cuffed my hands to the end of the bed, and pulled my legs apart forcefully. I felt a penis penetrating my anus and a man raping me. I started screaming, and they beat me on my back and head while I was blindfolded. I felt the man who was raping me ejaculate inside my anus. I kept screaming and being beaten, and I could hear a camera—so I believe they were filming me. The rape lasted about 10 minutes. After that, they left me for an hour in the same position, with my hands cuffed to the bed with metal handcuffs, my face on the bed, my feet on the floor, and I was completely naked. Again, after an hour, I was raped fully in the same position, with penetration into my vagina, and I was beaten while I screamed. There were several soldiers; I heard them laughing and the camera clicking as it took pictures. This rape was very quick and there was no ejaculation. During the rape they beat me with their hands on my head and back. Again, after an hour, I was raped fully in the same position, with penetration into my vagina, and I was beaten while I screamed. There were several soldiers; I heard them laughing and the camera clicking as it took pictures. This rape was very quick and there was no ejaculation. During the rape they beat me with their hands on my head and back. I cannot describe what I felt; I wished for death every moment. After they raped me, I was left alone in the same room, hands still cuffed to the bed and without clothes for many hours. I could hear the soldiers outside speaking Hebrew and laughing. Later, I was raped again vaginally. I screamed, but they beat me whenever I tried to resist. After more than an hour, I’m not sure about the time, a masked soldier entered, removed my blindfold, lifted his face covering; he had white skin and was tall. He asked if I spoke English; I said no. He said he was Russian and ordered me to masturbate his penis. I refused, and he hit me in the face after raping me. That day I was raped twice. I was left naked the whole day in the room where I spent three days. On the first day I was raped twice; on the second day I was raped twice; on the third day I remained without clothes while they looked at me through the door slit and filmed me. One soldier said they would post my photos on social media. While I was in the room, my period started; then they told me to put on clothes and transferred me to another room.” Palestinian Centre for Human Rights: November 10, 2025.

UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini, in an op-ed for The Guardian today, says Gaza’s recovery depends on allowing the UN agency to “work freely and independently” after the ceasefire. He writes that “UNRWA, with its thousands of Palestinian personnel, has the capacity, expertise and community trust required to provide healthcare, education and other public services to a devastated population.” “UNRWA’s teachers, doctors and engineers have long formed a vital part of public services for millions of Palestinian refugees,” he adds.

Hamas said only one truck of eggs has entered Gaza in 31 days of ceasefire, accusing Israel of deliberately keeping the enclave paralyzed. ➤ Essential food items, particularly protein-rich supplies like meat, eggs, and livestock, remain blocked. ➤ Just 8% of the agreed fuel has been allowed in — vital for hospital generators, transport, and infrastructure repairs. ➤ Only 5% of tents and shelter materials have been permitted.

Hamas said Israel has violated the ceasefire by occupying 33 square kilometers beyond the agreed withdrawal zone. In a new statement today, the movement detailed that Israeli forces have established fortified firing positions 400–1,050 meters inside the Yellow Line, moved military vehicles into those areas, and placed concrete barriers extending 200–800 meters past the agreed temporary boundary. Israeli forces killed two Palestinians near the Yellow Line in southern Gaza earlier today, claiming without evidence that they had crossed the line and posed an “immediate threat” to soldiers. Al Jazeera reported that one of those killed was a child.
