Quick Summary

Gaza authorities criticized global indifference after a mudslide killed five displaced people sheltering in tents following heavy rains. The incident occurred when an embankment collapsed onto tents in Deir el-Balah on Sunday, leaving two people missing. Save the Children reported that over half a million children live in critical or catastrophic shelter conditions due to restricted entry of aid materials into Gaza. The Government Media Office blamed Israel, the United States, and the international community for preventing necessary supplies from entering the territory, citing ongoing restrictions as exacerbating the crisis.
