GAZA/CAIRO (Reuters) -Heavy rain caused flooding in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, swamping the tents of thousands of homeless Palestinians facing the prospect of harsh winter storms without sturdy shelter.

Inconsistencies involving the company at the center of the saga have only added to the uncertainty over a plane that arrived in South Africa carrying more than 150 Palestinians.

At least 98 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody since October 2023, and the true death toll is likely higher given that a large number of people detained in Gaza are missing, according to a new report from an Israel-based human rights group,

The Palestinian Prisoners Club NGO says Israeli security forces arrested or performed field interrogations on 60 people, including minors, in the West Bank’s northeastern region of Tubas today. It’s unclear if any are still held.

A human rights group says the "rate at which people are killed in Israeli custody" shows a loss of "all moral and professional restraint."

Israel’s forced removal of tens of thousands of Palestinians from refugee camps in the occupied West Bank earlier this year amounts to war crimes and crimes against humanity, Human Rights Watch (HRW) has alleged.

Aid agencies in Gaza say the makeshift tents and tarps that most people use for shelter are inadequate for the winter weather, and the commercial food supplies that are getting into the territories are too expensive for most people to afford.

According to Palestinian figures, at least 342 people have been killed by Israeli army fire since the ceasefire.

Palestinians in Gaza stuck as they try to plan for peace, even as Israel refuses to fully end its violence against them.
