At least three Arabs are dead as raw sewage flooded the village of Um Naser in northern Gaza. At least 25 are wounded including several children. At least 200 are missing or unaccounted for.



The flood began when the wall of a giant cesspool caved in, immersing at least 25 houses in sewage. Thousands fled the scene as hundreds were evacuated by rescuers.



The village is less than a kilometer from the Gaza border with Israel. The cause of the flood is still unknown.
