加沙中部代尔拜莱赫帐篷遭沙土滑坡掩埋:5人死亡、其中3名儿童

代尔拜莱赫(加沙地带)— 加沙民防局11月8日晚表示,加沙地带中部城市代尔拜莱赫(Deir al-Balah)一处流离失所者收容点发生沙土滑坡,大片沙土塌落在多顶帐篷上,救援人员已挖出5名遇难者遗体,另有6人受伤,搜救仍在继续,仍有一名儿童下落不明。
当地医疗消息来源称,5名遇难者中包括1名妇女和3名儿童,伤者中部分人伤势严重。加沙民防局发言人 Mahmoud Basal 表示,塌落物是被连日降雨冲刷带下的沙石。事发帐篷里住的是从加沙北部逃难而来的家庭。
这场事故发生在冬季风暴肆虐加沙的背景下。自11月6日晚起,强降雨与大风袭击加沙地带,加沙政府媒体办公室称,约12小时内约7万顶流离失所者帐篷被淹,数十面墙体倒塌,多人受伤。
联合国人道主义事务协调机构此前一天警告,居住在易涝地区和受损建筑中的流离失所家庭在雨季面临风险。巴勒斯坦民族委员会主席 Rawhi Fattouh 11月7日呼吁国际社会紧急介入,为流离失所者提供临时住房、帐篷和取暖物资。

Sand Collapse Buries Displaced Families' Tents in Deir al-Balah, Gaza: Five Killed, Including Three Children
DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Gaza's Civil Defence said on the evening of November 8 that a mass of sand collapsed onto tents at a displacement shelter site in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip. Rescuers recovered five bodies, six people were injured, and searches continued for a child still missing.
Medical sources said the five killed included one woman and three children, and that some of the injured were in serious condition. Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal said the collapse consisted of sand and rocks washed down by days of rain. The tents housed families displaced from northern Gaza.
The deaths came as a winter storm battered Gaza. Heavy rain and strong winds that began on the evening of November 6 flooded about 70,000 displacement tents within roughly 12 hours, according to Gaza's Government Media Office, and brought down dozens of walls, injuring several people.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs had warned a day earlier that displaced families living in flood-prone areas and damaged buildings face heightened risks in the rainy season. Rawhi Fattouh, president of the Palestinian National Council, called on November 7 for urgent international action to provide temporary housing, tents and heating supplies for the displaced.
