Storm Byron has led to severe flooding in Gaza, impacting nearly 795,000 displaced Palestinians, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Heavy rainfall has overwhelmed displacement sites, exacerbating the risks for those in overcrowded conditions. Despite the provision of over 1 million shelter items, IOM warns that these supplies are insufficient to withstand flooding. Access restrictions have delayed essential tools and materials needed for flood mitigation, leaving families vulnerable in dire circumstances.
