Israel readies for Storm Byron, limited assistance for citizens.

Cities across Israel are preparing for Storm Byron, with heavy rain and floods expected, prompting safety guidelines from the Israeli army. However, Palestinian citizens in unrecognised Bedouin communities lack resources and face potential disaster, as they live without basic services. Tensions between the state and non-Jewish towns in the Negev persist, highlighting Israel’s discriminatory practices. In the occupied West Bank, challenges from the storm are exacerbated by restrictions on rainwater collection, causing downstream issues in the Negev.
