As Storm Byron approaches, flash floods, strong winds and hail are forecast throughout Palestine, including in war-torn Gaza, from today until Friday evening, according to the Palestinian Meteorological Department. Officials have warned that hundreds of thousands of displaced people are at risk because their shelters are weak and crowded. The mayor of Gaza City says several roads have been cut off and tent shelters flooded, some of them completely submerged.
