Winter storms hit the Eastern Mediterranean coast on November 6-7, 2026, flooding tens of thousands of tents in the Gaza Strip and leaving displaced families without shelter. Flooding and blackouts were also reported in coastal Israel. Hamas-run authorities said they lacked fuel and equipment to respond and urged Israel to allow in prefabricated homes and heavy machinery.
