Storm Byron, a severe weather system that caused flooding in Greece and the island of Cyprus before reaching Gaza earlier this week, has now made landfall, flooding multiple displacement sites and placing nearly 795,000 displaced Palestinians at heightened risk, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said on Friday. br br br br In a statement, IOM said that heavy rainfall has inundated hundreds of displacement sites, where even moderate rain can "quickly become dangerous," and is expected to continue in the coming hours. br br br br Despite the ceasefire, displaced Palestinians remain in overcrowded areas with little protection from rising water levels, it noted. br br br br Since Oct. 10, the agency said it has dispatched more than 1 million shelter items to partners in Gaza, including waterproof tents, thermal blankets, sleeping mats and tarpaulins, but warned that these supplies "cannot withstand flooding." br br #StormByronGaza #GazaFloods #StormByron #GazaStorm #ByronStorm #WinterStormByron #GazaFloodDisaster #GazaTentsFlooded #GazaUnderWater #StormByronIsrael #StormByronPalestine #WarTornGaza #IsraelWarOnGaza #GazaCrisis #GazaWinterStorm #FlashFloods #FloodingIsraelStorm #GazaEmergency #GazaUnderAttack #MiddleEastStormbr br ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.
