Three children and one woman were killed when a sand embankment collapsed onto tents in central Gaza following heavy rain, the Hamas-run health ministry says. Five injured people were also reportedly rescued after the incident on Sunday night at a camp for displaced families south of Deir al-Balah. Videos showed men using phone torches to search for survivors beneath boulders, sand and collapsed tents. The Civil Defence service, which operates under the Hamas-run interior ministry, said the "humanitarian tragedy" should prompt urgent action by international organisations to provide safe shelters for displaced people and move tents away from sandy areas, slopes and locations at risk of collapse.
