Palestinians face 'another layer of misery' as storm hits Gaza

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip face "another layer of misery" as Storm Byron bares down on the enclave, the UN Agency for Palestinians said on Wednesday. 

"People who had already lost everything and need everything face another layer of misery. More hardship for displaced families living in makeshift shelters with rain bringing floods, damage and additional health threats," Unrwa said.

The agency said its teams are working to support people wherever they can, by pumping away sewage and floodwater, clearing garbage, distributing tarpaulins, winter clothes and blankets, and providing medical care.
