Gaza Civil Defense:

▪We announce the deployment of 30 field teams in various areas, working around the clock to deal with the effects of the low-pressure system, and to respond to citizens' calls and emergency reports.

▪The field teams’ tasks are divided between responding to cases of tents flooding and rainwater pooling, and dealing with homes at risk of collapse, in addition to specialized teams working to address and remove suspended construction blocks that pose a danger to the lives and safety of citizens.

▪Hundreds of signals and reports remain open and await response, in light of the scale of the damage and the increasing needs, which is placing great pressure on the working crews and their available capabilities.

▪We renew our appeal to the concerned authorities and international and humanitarian institutions to support and strengthen the capabilities of the civil defense with the necessary equipment, machinery and resources, to enable its crews to continue carrying out their humanitarian duty and respond quickly to citizens' calls.

▪We call on citizens to exercise the utmost caution and vigilance, stay away from homes and facilities at risk of collapse, avoid approaching cracked walls and ceilings and suspended construction blocks, and immediately report any danger threatening their lives and safety.

Government Media Office: Amid a catastrophic winter hitting the Gaza Strip, as we have repeatedly warned previously, and within 12 hours of the start of the first weather depression

Government Media Office: ▪Amid a catastrophic winter hitting the Gaza Strip, as we have repeatedly warned previously, and within 12 hours of the start of the first weather depression, estimates indicate the flooding of 70,000 tents sheltering tens of thousands of displaced people, in addition to the collapse of dozens of walls, which led to varying injuries, including serious injuries in the governorates of the Strip. ▪We also point to the possibility of the collapse of dozens of cracked buildings that are on the verge of collapse and exposed to the risk of collapse due to bombardment during the ongoing war on the Gaza Strip for three years. ▪According to preliminary estimates, the direct losses resulting from the start of the depression have reached about $3 million so far. ▪We hold the Israeli occupation responsible for these catastrophic repercussions as a result of its continued closure of the crossings and prevention of the entry of essential shelter and reconstruction materials that the population urgently needs. ▪We call on the international community and all UN and international organizations to intervene immediately and assume their humanitarian, legal, moral, and historical responsibilities to save the lives of the displaced and provide the means of resilience and protection for them.
