Overview
- Civil defense officials in Gaza reported 13 deaths in the past 24 hours, including a newborn in Al‑Shati camp and a 9‑year‑old in a Gaza City shelter.
- UNRWA says flooding has overwhelmed camps and that the sewage network has completely collapsed, creating pools of untreated waste.
- Roughly 850,000 people living across 761 displacement camps face high flood risk after years of war left most housing destroyed.
- The International Organization for Migration and other groups accuse Israel of blocking relief and shelter materials, as Israel closed the Kerem Shalom and Al Awja crossings on Friday; 350 trucks entered while hundreds waited at Rafah.
- Separately, U.S. officials have invited Germany and Italy to a proposed Gaza Peace Council, and briefings described an international stabilization force to which Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Turkey and Egypt signaled they would contribute troops.
