In light of the air depression that hits the Gaza Strip, the civil defense spokesman, Mahmoud Basal, announced that two deaths were recorded since the start of the weather conditions.
Basal explained in a press statement on Sunday that hundreds of tents were flooded or blown away by the wind and rain, despite the limited nature of this weather system compared to previous ones, which exacerbated the suffering of displaced families.

He noted that civil defense teams received hundreds of calls for help regarding drowning incidents and were able to intervene in dozens of cases within shelters and various areas of the Gaza Strip.
Basal called on international organizations to take urgent action to allow the entry of building materials and shelter supplies, and to provide the necessary infrastructure for the service system, stressing that simply talking about providing tents is no longer sufficient under the current circumstances.
