Corrections and updates
November 11 update. Added Italy’s emergency aid announcement. Delivery and the disputed collapse toll remain unresolved.
7 Nov 2026 12:45 UTC — Created a private High-priority review record for flooding reports, preserving source distinctions and withholding unverified totals and vulnerable locations.
7 Nov 2026 14:45 UTC — Published the retained draft after adding independent Reuters and AFP field reporting; corroboration covers broad flooding, while unverified totals and vulnerable locations remain omitted. Prior sources, regional marker and date-level reference are preserved.
9 Nov 2026 18:56 UTC — Added independently produced fatal-collapse reporting to the existing rain-emergency record; changed the evidence label to disputed because reported death totals differ, without adopting a final toll or publishing vulnerable locations.
10 Nov 2026 15:13 UTC — Added UNICEF’s attributed warning and refusal claim, preserving the unresolved casualty discrepancy and original time, regional marker and prior evidence. Excluded vulnerable locations and operational details.
11 Nov 2026 05:19 UTC — Added preliminary UN household figures and separately produced Guardian interviews under the existing flood ID. Preserved the unresolved casualty discrepancy, attributed UNICEF warning, original date-level reference and regional marker. No vulnerable locations or aid logistics were added.
11 Nov 2026 13:29 UTC — Added the reported Swiss funding and supplies pledge, with delivery still unverified.
11 Nov 2026 21:36 UTC — Added Tajani’s announcement to the existing Gaza flood record. Retained the Swiss pledge, UN household figures and disputed collapse toll.
