Gaza storm leaves 12 dead or missing

The Gaza government media office said on Friday that 12 people have been killed or gone missing, 13 homes collapsed, and more than 27,000 tents for displaced families were flooded or swept away amid the ongoing storm.

The disaster has directly affected over 250,000 people across the Strip.

Authorities warned that 1.5 million displaced residents remain at risk of drowning or structural collapses amid harsh weather, calling on the UN and international organisations to urgently deliver emergency shelters and aid, as Israeli restrictions continue to block access to the territory.
