If it starts to pour, there will be a great danger for the refugees, whose conditions will only grow worse, as they only have these tents for shelter after the occupation destroyed their homes, our correspondent in Gaza reported.
The Gaza Strip's government media office reported an increase in the death toll resulting from Israeli strikes, now reaching 11,240, with 4,630 children among the casualties, as of Monday.

Hospitals besieged, out of fuel; power outages killing preterm babies
Dr. Medhat Abbas, a director from the Gaza Ministry of Health, informed Al Mayadeen English, on Monday, that premature infants in the largest hospital in Gaza are being swaddled in foil and placed near warm water as an urgent measure to ensure their survival, while Israeli airstrikes continue to bombard streets near the hospital.
With the last of the fuel reserves depleting, the facility is rendered incapable of operating, Dr. Abbas added.
Footage shared by the Gaza Ministry of Health revealed multiple premature babies, previously removed from their incubators at the hospital, now huddled together and placed in a single bed.
According to the doctor, a number of premature babies were killed in the past day in the intensive care unit and the nursery, as "Israel" persists in its ongoing bombardment and blockade of Gaza.
Staff at Shifa Hospital have shared this photo of their heroic attempts to keep the premature babies alive in an operating theatre after they were forced to shut down the NICU. Taken 6pm today.
