Gaza hit by strongest sandstorm in over five years
Authorities urged displaced Gaza residents to shelter and secure tents amid a powerful sandstorm that worsened living conditions in camps housing hundreds of thousands, officials said.
- On Saturday, a powerful sandstorm battered Gaza's displacement camps, forcing residents to endure strong winds and dense dust while describing conditions as "Our life has become misery."
- Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians live in worn fabric tents offering little protection from harsh weather, leaving families vulnerable to environmental hazards and displacement for months.
- Gaza's Civil Defence urged residents to remain inside, warning that direct dust exposure poses severe health risks, particularly for children and the elderly with respiratory illnesses.
- Despite the October ceasefire, Israeli forces continued artillery shelling across Gaza on Saturday, with at least 658 people killed in the enclave since the truce began.
- Asmaa Hussein, 54, died in Israeli shelling near the Maghazi refugee camp, exemplifying how military strikes and environmental hazards together complicate relief efforts across the enclave.
