"A ceasefire has been in effect since October 10 after two years of Israel's genocidal war against the Palestinian people in Gaza, but humanitarian agencies said Israel is letting very little aid into the enclave, where nearly the entire population has been displaced. Al Jazeera's Tareq Abou Azzoum said despite a shortage of equipment and fuel and the weather conditions in the enclave, Palestinian Civil Defence teams retrieved the bodies of 20 people on Monday."
"Gaza Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal called on the international community to provide mobile homes and caravans for displaced Palestinians rather than tents. If people are not protected today, we will witness more victims, more killing of people, children, women, entire families inside these buildings, he said. Mohammad Nassar and his family were living in a six-storey building that was badly damaged by Israeli strikes earlier in the war and collapsed in heavy rain on Friday."
Stormy weather and heavy rains have caused war-damaged buildings in Gaza to collapse and hinder recovery of bodies trapped under rubble. Civil Defence teams retrieved 20 bodies from a multistorey building bombed in December 2023 where about 60 people, including 30 children, were believed to be sheltering. Two buildings collapsed three days earlier, killing at least 12 people. Flooding has washed away and flooded tents of displaced Palestinians and caused deaths from exposure. A ceasefire has been in effect since October 10, but humanitarian agencies report that very little aid is entering the enclave. Civil Defence urged the international community to provide mobile homes and caravans rather than tents.
