Israeli artillery, air attacks near Rafah, Khan Younis, Deir el-Balah

Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic have reported a series of Israeli attacks across northern, central and southern Gaza this morning.

In the south, Israeli forces carried out air strikes and tank fire east of Rafah, and launched additional air and artillery strikes near Khan Younis, our colleagues report.

In central Gaza, artillery fire hit the eastern part of Deir el-Balah. In Gaza City, artillery attacks and tank fire also hit the Tuffah neighbourhood, our colleagues added, without mentioning casualties.

Israeli military conducts attacks beyond yellow line

These days the Israeli military has gone outside the yellow line, the area which they were meant to retreat to, and have been carrying out attacks in areas where the vast majority of displaced Palestinians have been pushed to shelter.

That is about 300 metres outside the yellow line, catching people off guard because those attacks have no prior warning. This has cast fear and panic that this could be the beginning or mark the beginning of wider actions by the Israeli military.


Over 200 Gaza displacement sites face severe winter flooding risk, UN warns

More than 200 makeshift displacement sites housing hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza face severe flooding risk this winter, according to the latest UN humanitarian assessment.

The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in the occupied Palestinian Territory reported that 214 active sites are at particularly high risk of flooding due to their locations and poor conditions.

Last week, thousands of tents in Gaza were damaged due to floods, as temperatures plunged due to winter conditions. Nearly 1.5 million people are currently sheltering across 925 displacement sites throughout the Strip, with 1.1 million in vulnerable makeshift camps.

Only three of Gaza’s 590 health facilities are fully functional, while just 18 of 36 hospitals remain operational. An electricity disruption cut water production at the Southern Gaza Desalination Plant by one-third this week, compounding the crisis as winter weather intensifies.

Between October 10 and November 20, approximately 100,000 aid pallets entered Gaza, but only 87,500 were collected for distribution.
