加薩／開羅，11月7日（路透）——地方當局週六表示，大雨淹沒了加薩走廊各地營地中數以萬計的帳篷；流離失所的巴勒斯坦人擠在這些帳篷裡，雨水沖走遮蔽處，也浸濕毛毯和床墊。GAZA/CAIRO, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Heavy rains have flooded tens of thousands of tents housing displaced Palestinians crammed into encampments across the Gaza Strip, washing away shelters and soaking blankets and mattresses, local authorities said on Saturday.

哈瑪斯（Hamas）治理的加薩政府媒體辦公室表示，過去12小時內至少有7萬頂帳篷遭洪水淹沒，影響數以萬計流離失所者，並造成有人受傷，不過尚未傳出死亡。The Hamas-run Gaza government media office said at least 70,000 tents had been flooded in the past 12 hours, affecting tens of thousands of displaced people and causing injuries although no fatalities had been reported.

加薩的民防部門表示，已收到流離失所居民的1500通求救電話。該部門並補充說，有3棟廢棄房屋倒塌，但未造成人員受傷。The territory's civil defence service said it had received 1,500 distress calls from displaced residents. Three abandoned houses collapsed without causing injuries, it added.

在加薩市一處帳篷營地，有些人試圖修補帳篷，另一些人則用沙土加固，防止雨水滲入。也有人忙著把孩子帶出淹水的帳篷。At a tent encampment in Gaza City, some people tried to repair their tents, while others used sand to reinforce them and prevent water from entering. Some were busy getting their children out of flooded tents.

加薩居民奧爾法特・馬格杜布（Olfat Magdoub）試圖把帳篷外的水掃開，但徒勞無功。Olfat Magdoub, a Gaza resident, tried in vain to sweep water away from her tent.

這名女子說：「這才是下雨的第一天，我們當然已經被淹了。如果隔天又下雨，會變成怎樣？這只是第一天，我們就已經招架不住了。」"This is the first day of rain, and of course we are already flooded. What will happen if it rains again the next day? This is only the first day and we're already overwhelmed," said the woman.

「兩週前下雨時，我向上帝發誓，我有4天都睡在鋪在地上的毯子上，因為雨水已經把寢具淹了。現在也一樣，床墊都濕了，所以我們睡在地上。」"Two weeks ago when it rained, I swear to God, I spent four days sleeping on blankets spread on the floor because the rainwater had flooded the bedding. Same now, the mattresses are wet so we sleep on the ground.”

市政和民防官員表示，由於燃料短缺、設備受損，他們無力因應這場暴雨。Municipal and civil defence officials said they were unable to cope with the storm because of fuel shortages and damage to equipment.

他們表示，以色列在對抗哈瑪斯的戰爭期間摧毀了數百輛車輛，包括推土機及其他用於抽水的車輛。這場戰爭已使當地逾200萬居民中的多數人流離失所，並讓加薩大部分地區成為廢墟。如今多數人口住在帳篷營地。They said Israel had destroyed hundreds of vehicles, including bulldozers and others used to pump water, during its war against Hamas, which had displaced most of the territory's more than 2 million residents and left much of Gaza in ruins. Most of the population now lives in tent camps.

哈瑪斯指控以色列不允許避難設施和建材進入加薩。Hamas blamed Israel for not allowing shelters and construction materials into Gaza.

以色列軍方負責協調援助的機構COGAT未立即回應哈瑪斯的指控。COGAT在週五聲明中表示，在預期大雨來臨前，已與國際組織協調，加強在加薩各地改善衛生條件的工作。COGAT, the Israeli military agency that coordinates aid, did not immediately comment on the accusations by Hamas. It said in a statement on Friday that it had stepped up efforts to improve sanitary conditions across Gaza before the heavy rain, which had been expected, in coordination with international organisations.

重建進展甚微LITTLE PROGRESS ON RECONSTRUCTION

該機構表示，本週另有4輛真空吸污車透過國際紅十字委員會（International Committee of the Red Cross, ICRC）進入加薩，與過去一個月運入的另外8輛會合，用以支援污水抽排、每週垃圾清運，以及供水和污水基礎設施修復。The agency said four additional vacuum trucks entered Gaza this week through the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), joining eight others brought in over the past month to support sewage pumping, weekly waste removal and repairs to water and sewage infrastructure.

去年由美國斡旋的停火協議要求最終重建加薩，但進展甚微。談判人員未能就哈瑪斯解除武裝，或以色列撤軍的條件達成共識；以軍目前控制約三分之二的加薩領土，居民已被下令離開這些地區。A US-brokered ceasefire last year called for the eventual reconstruction of Gaza, but little progress has been made. Negotiators have failed to agree on terms for Hamas to disarm or for Israel to withdraw its troops, which control about two-thirds of the territory and from which residents have been ordered to leave.

流離失所的加薩居民拉菲克・加塔斯（Rafiq Ghattas）赤腳站在一大片雨水積水中說：「我們沒有資源、沒有防水帆布、沒有帳篷，也沒有人來查看我們的情況。」"We have no resources, no tarpaulins, no tents and no one is checking on us," said displaced Gaza resident Rafiq Ghattas, standing barefoot in the middle of a large pool of rainwater.

巴勒斯坦當局表示，自以色列在哈瑪斯領導的武裝分子於2023年10月7日襲擊以色列南部、造成約1200人死亡後，開始攻擊加薩以來，已有超過7萬4000人在加薩喪生。Palestinian authorities say more than 74,000 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel began its assault on the territory after Hamas-led fighters killed about 1,200 people in southern Israel on attacks on October 7, 2023.
