Floods in Gaza leave tens of thousands without shelter

Civil Defence reports over 1,500 emergency calls as thousands of tents and shelters destroyed after heavy rains.

Shah Alam experienced flash floods on November 8 following heavy rain, with no evacuations reported in Taman Sri Muda, Section 25. The Selangor Fire and Rescue Department's Operations Division assistant director, Ashrul Riezal Asbar, confirmed similar incidents in Kampung Baru Hicom, Section 26. Water levels rose and overflowed onto roads due to overflowing drains.

Asbar stated that no evacuations were carried out in the affected areas, and the rain had since stopped, though the weather remained cloudy. Monitoring continued in high-risk areas such as Jalan Kebun Bunga in Section 22, Section 13, and Jalan Kebun. Social media users had shared images and videos of rising water levels from heavy rain between 3 pm and 5 pm, including around Taman Sri Muda and a shopping mall in Bukit Tinggi, Klang.
