Storm Byron forces Gaza families to seek shelter from flooding.

Storm Byron is threatening Palestinians in Gaza with flooding and displacement, as officials warn of flash floods, strong winds, and hail until Friday. Israeli restrictions have left Gaza ill-equipped to respond, with displacement camps at high risk of flooding and contamination. Families are fleeing flooded tents, seeking dry ground, as humanitarian workers urge the international community to pressure Israel to allow in supplies to help those in need. UN agencies and local authorities warn of devastating consequences for Gaza’s population, with inadequate shelter and heightened risk of disease as the storm approaches.
