  "summary": "Heavy rainfall and strong winds have inundated thousands of displacement tents in Gaza, prompting the Civil Defence to declare a maximum state of emergency. Rescue teams have received over 2,000 distress calls since the storm began, but are only able to respond to a tenth of the calls due to limited resources and inadequate shelter. The flooding has left families exposed to rising floodwaters, freezing conditions, and mounting humanitarian needs.",
