Storm Byron has battered the Gaza Strip, killing at least 14 people and injuring others as harsh winds and relentless rain struck buildings already weakened by Israeli bombardments and thousands of displaced families. Gaza’s Ministry of Interior and National Security reported that 13 structures previously hit by strikes collapsed, while emergency teams received over 4,300 distress calls since the storm began. Medical staff warned of rising deaths linked to exposure, as Palestinians remain inside collapsing buildings and makeshift shelters while Israeli authorities continue to block the entry of essential supplies. Police and civil defense teams persist in rescue operations despite lacking equipment and fuel, urging international actors to pressure Israel to allow critical aid and shelter materials into the Strip.
