Eyewitnesses told Anadolu Agency that floodwaters swept away some tents and destroyed them, while others were blown away by strong winds.

Saeb Laqan, spokesperson for Khan Yunis Municipality, described the situation as “extremely catastrophic,” noting that the destruction of most roads, water networks, and sewage systems by Israeli occupation forces has severely affected the city’s rainwater drainage system.
