Five Displaced People Killed in Sand Cliff Collapse in Central Gaza
Five displaced individuals, including three children, have died after a sand and rock cliff collapsed onto their tents in Deir al-Balah.
A tragic incident occurred in the city of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of five displaced people, including three children, following a collapse of a sand and rock cliff.
The collapse occurred when large amounts of sand and rock fell onto the tents of two families who had fled from the northern part of the Strip to escape ongoing bombardment.
The disaster coincided with the arrival of the first weather depression of the season, exacerbating the already dire conditions for those living in the area.
This incident highlights the severe risks faced by thousands of families forced to reside in inadequate tents or within approximately three thousand homes that are structurally unstable due to the ongoing conflict and blockade.
