Tents flooded by heavy rains in Gaza amid calls for Israel to let in aid
Severe weather conditions are bringing further misery to displaced Palestinians in Gaza, who have already suffered relentless bombardment, siege and loss in Israel’s genocidal war, for more than two years, as Israel continues to block critical shelter and aid supplies into the territory. Flimsy tents were flooded and makeshift camps engulfed in mud on Monday following heavy winter rains lashing the enclave in recent days. Heavy winter rains and strong winds have brought new dangers to displaced Palestinians in a Gaza devastated by Israel.
The harsh conditions have added to the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza, most of whom are reduced to sheltering in tents and other makeshift structures since Israel’s war destroyed an estimated 80% of the buildings there. Officials are warning that severe conditions also bring new dangers, with the threat of disease and illness as overwhelmed and damaged sewage systems contaminate floodwaters, as well as the risk that damaged buildings could collapse amid heavy rainfall. At least 15 people, including babies, have died this month from hypothermia following the rains and plunging temperatures, according to the authorities in Gaza.
Two-month-old baby, Arkan Firas Musleh, was the latest infant to die on Monday as a result of the extreme cold. Gaza’s Ministry of Health also announced the death of a Palestinian man in a building collapsing onto a tent in the Tel al-Hawa neighbourhood of Gaza City. On Sunday, a 30-year-old woman was killed when a partially destroyed wall collapsed onto her tent in the Remal neighbourhood, to the west of Gaza City, amid fierce winds, Al Jazeera Arabic reported.

Dear Kiwis
Refuser Solidarity Network (RSN) is an international network supporting the refusers. RSN send these regular refusers updates – You can directly contact us at info@refuser.org.
As this year comes to an end, I want to begin with something simple and true: thank you. With your support, we’ve achieved so much this year, and are also so close to reaching our end-of-year campaign goal of $50,000, which will help us fund new field organizers in order to keep the refusal wave alive, despite the so-called “ceasefire”. For those who have the means, we ask that you help us close the gap. We’ve raised $47,000, and our work relies on these funds; without your support, we cannot continue the momentum. Help us close the gap support War Refusers
Your support over the past year made it possible for Refuser Solidarity Network to show up when it mattered most, standing with those inside Israel who chose resistance over obedience, conscience over compliance, even as the cost of refusal continued to rise.
Now we are entering a narrow and decisive window, Moments of pause after large-scale violence are not moments of rest. They are moments of direction. What happens in times like this determines whether societies move toward accountability and change, or slide back into escalation and denial.
History shows that organized resistance either consolidates in these moments or collapses. That is why this final week of our end-of-year campaign matters so much.
We set a goal of $50,000 to sustain and expand our work supporting refusers and anti-war organizers: legal defense, coordination, political education, and long-term infrastructure for those working to prevent the next war, not react to it after it begins.
We still need $3,000 to reach our goal before the year ends. Every dollar raised in these final days strengthens the ability of refusers to stay organized, visible, and protected at a time when international attention is fading, but risks on the ground remain very real. This is not emergency charity. It is strategic investment in real infrastructure. If you can give today, you will help ensure that the momentum built over the past year does not dissipate, but instead becomes a bridge towards real historical breakthroughs.
Thank you for walking this path with us, and for refusing to look away when it matters most.
In solidarity,
Didi Remez
Executive Director
