Heavy rain has brought disaster on two fronts, as flash floods in northern Iraq killed two people while flooding in Gaza inundated displacement camps, leaving tens of thousands soaked with few resources to cope. In Erbil, the capital of Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, torrential rainfall on Saturday evening triggered flash flooding across most of the city's neighbourhoods, killing a five-year-old child and a bulldozer operator in his late 20s, Governor Omed Khoshnaw said.
