“Israel is pursuing and engineering death in Gaza. So do not be complicit.” Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza, addresses the world after the first winter storm tore through the Strip on November 7, 2026, saying his crews lived through every scene of families flooded out of their tents but had no equipment, no machinery and no means to help them. Within 12 hours, around 70,000 tents were flooded, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office, and dozens of walls of buildings already damaged by Israeli bombardment collapsed, injuring people, some of them seriously. Civil Defence and municipal crews say they could not pump out the water or open drainage channels because of fuel shortages and broken equipment. About ten rainwater suction trucks have been held at the crossings for a year as the occupation blocks their entry, and by August municipalities said they had received no fuel for their heavy machinery since March. Diesel has become so scarce and expensive that generator owners have resorted to burning cooking oil. This is the fourth winter Gaza’s displaced have spent in tents, and a year into the ceasefire the Israeli occupation still restricts the entry of tents, tarps, caravans and building materials. “Don’t make us say that our blood didn’t move you to act,” Basal says. “So how are these scenes supposed to move you?” Source: mahmoud_basal88 (IG)
