Israel-Gaza war: seven killed as UNICEF warns of flooding
Israel attacks in Gaza killed at least seven Palestinians on Tuesday, while UNICEF said a rejected repair of a Gaza City water basin could cause sewage flooding.
At least seven Palestinians were killed in Gaza on Tuesday, according to local health officials, including a father and his 13-year-old son.
UNICEF says COGAT, the Israeli military agency overseeing humanitarian affairs in Gaza, rejected a $3 million plan to repair a contaminated stormwater basin in Gaza City.
Heavy rain has flooded a large number of tents, and four people, including three young children, died when a sand embankment collapsed.
The WHO says close to 1 million displaced people in Gaza face medium or high flood risk.
In the West Bank, Palestinian officials said a 14-year-old was shot dead by Israeli forces; Israel said it was responding to stone-throwing.
