"Storm Byron has swept across the Gaza Strip, killing at least 14 people and injuring others as harsh winds, relentless rain and collapsing structures crush families already displaced by Israel's devastating assault on the enclave, according to Gaza's Ministry of Interior and National Security. The ministry said five people died overnight into Friday after a house sheltering displaced civilians in Bir an-Naaja, in northern Gaza, collapsed during the storm."
"Medical staff in Gaza report an alarming rise in deaths linked to exposure. A source at al-Shifa Hospital told Al Jazeera Arabic that nine-year-old Hadeel al-Masri died in a shelter west of Gaza City, while baby Taim al-Khawaja died in Shati camp. In Khan Younis, eight-month-old Rahaf Abu Jazar died after rain flooded her family's tent. Relatives said the family had been seeking refuge in a roofless, bombed-out home after an Israeli air strike destroyed their own house."
