Regarding developments in the humanitarian situation of Gaza's residents, a strong sandstorm struck the Strip on Saturday, with conditions of a dust storm and strong winds that directly affected the displaced people's tents, increasing health and humanitarian risks, especially among those with chronic and respiratory illnesses.

The General Directorate of Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip urged residents to take the necessary safety precautions to protect against the effects of the dusty air mass sweeping the Palestinian atmosphere, amid a sandstorm laden with dust and sand that doubles the suffering of the displaced living in tents lacking the minimum protections.

The directorate, in a Saturday statement, urged citizens to avoid leaving homes or shelter centers and tents except in extreme necessity, especially patients with respiratory diseases, due to the high levels of dust in the air.

It stressed the importance of properly reinstalling tents and canopies to prevent them from being blown away by the wind, especially among the displaced living on the coast and in coastal areas.
