The internal affairs department of the Gaza Strip said on the 12th local time that due to continued heavy rainfall and high winds, at least 12 building collapses have occurred in many parts of the Gaza Strip in the past few hours. As a result, 8 Palestinians have died and many others have been injured. Currently, people are still trapped under rubble in northern Gaza. The statement said that emergency departments across Gaza have received more than 4,300 calls for help due to the impact of the storm “Byron.” The relevant departments are carrying out a search and rescue, but due to aging equipment and serious lack of resources, the rescue work is facing great difficulties.
