Gaza:Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians in the Gaza Strip faced severe flooding of their tents following heavy rainfall on Saturday. This natural disaster compounded the already dire humanitarian situation in the region, as Israeli colonists and occupation forces intensified their attacks across the occupied West Bank.
According to Palestine news & Information Agency – WAFA – English, the flooding forced many families from their temporary shelters, adding to the suffering of those already displaced. The newspapers highlighted the Palestinian presidency's call for the UN Security Council to urgently intervene, holding the Israeli government accountable for the worsening humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
In addition to the flooding, the newspapers reported on attacks on Palestinian farmers, theft of olive crops, detentions, and military raids. The death toll from ongoing Israeli aggression has risen to 74,640, with 175,947 people injured. The reports also noted Israeli President Isaac Herzog's decision to task Gadi Eisenkot with forming the next Israeli government.
Furthermore, the newspapers covered the escalation of colonist and military attacks across the West Bank, including the blockage of school entrances and the removal of trees in certain areas. Egyptian efforts to address the storm's impact in Gaza and UN Secretary-General António Guterres's reaffirmation of support for UNRWA were also highlighted.
