The head of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has warned that “Storm Byron has Gaza in its grip”.
Philippe Lazzarini said in a social media post that displaced Palestinian families face “more hardship” in makeshift shelters as heavy rainfall brings “floods, damage & additional health threats”.
For months, UNRWA has been calling on Israel to allow unimpeded humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza. That includes shelter supplies that the UN and other groups say are critical, as most of the Palestinian enclave has been destroyed in Israel’s military assault.
