Gaza storm calls answered
The emergency committee at Gaza Municipality continued to address the effects of the weather system after around 60 millimeters of rain fell—equivalent to 15% of the annual average. It received 251 reports and 84 distress calls concerning pooled water and rising water levels, particularly on streets and at shelters. The response included pumping out water and monitoring shelters. Teams also responded to the collapse of an occupied home in the al-Nasr area, which injured a child, the collapse of an unoccupied building, and damage to al-Shifa Street in Ma’an, in coordination with Civil Defense and the United Nations Development Programme. The municipality said damage to stormwater drainage networks and a shortage of equipment were hampering the response, and called for urgent support and machinery.
