Gaza:Cairo The Egyptian Committee in Gaza has intensified its emergency response efforts as a storm has caused extensive damage, particularly to tents and buildings in the area. Spokesman Mohamed Mansour announced the committee's ongoing rapid interventions, marking the fifth consecutive day of operations aimed at rescuing those affected by the severe weather.

According to State Information Service Egypt, Mansour stated that the committee's engineering and field teams are conducting emergency humanitarian operations to mitigate the effects of the storms. These operations are crucial as the latest storm has highlighted the dangers faced by Gaza residents, who are also enduring freezing temperatures and ongoing Israeli attacks.

The storm has severely impacted the infrastructure, with over 2,000 buildings developing structural cracks, posing significant threats to the safety of residents. In response, the committee has relocated a family from a damaged building to a secure location, providing essential supplies before demolishing the unsafe structure to prevent further risk.

The committee continues to install tents across Gaza's five governorates and is actively involved in clearing roads and removing hazards. Additionally, teams are distributing bread and food while relocating families to Egyptian Committee camps in Netzarim.

As temperatures plummet, especially for families seeking refuge near the seafront without adequate shelter or clothing, Mansour has called on the United Nations and international community to expedite aid delivery into Gaza. The residents are urgently appealing for support through aid convoys from Egypt. Tragically, six lives have been lost over the past five days due to the storm.

Mansour emphasized the resilience and determination of Palestinians, inspired by Egyptian leadership, which is advocating for global efforts to rebuild Gaza. He further urged the provision of mobile housing units as a more durable alternative to tents.
