Please refer to the attached file. Overnight rainfall between 06 and 07 November triggered widespread flooding and rain-related incidents across displacement sites in Gaza, affecting thousands of displaced families living in makeshift shelters. As of 09: 00 on 08 November, partners had submitted 268 site alerts, of which 264 relate to heavy rain and flooding incidents. Reports were received from 261 unique displacement sites, including 255 sites with Site Management Agency (SMA) support and 6 sites without SMA presence. Site Management Cluster partners reported incidents and urgent needs through the Zite Manager platform, provided by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and only captures alerts submitted by participating partners. Reported figures reflect only incidents recorded by partners operating displacement sites and do not capture all rain and flood related impacts across Gaza. The overall scale of damage and humanitarian needs is therefore likely significantly higher than reflected in this update. Based on a joint IOM and Cluster flood-risk assessment and analysis, an estimated 761, 000 people (138, 000 families) in Gaza displacement sites are likely to be impacted by flooding this winter. Only 40 per cent of the nearly 1, 700 active sites have an SMA presence through the Cluster. Site Management Cluster partners are mobilizing to support site improvement works and community-led flood mitigation activities, such as drainage improvements and slope stabilization, to enable safer, more dignified living conditions. Site Management partners continue to monitor conditions and update reported needs as they prepare a rapid response
