A severe sandstorm, influenced by seasonal 'khamsin' winds, swept across the Gaza Strip on Saturday reducing visibility and worsening conditions for displaced residents.
Strong winds and dust clouds, captured in footage from Gaza City, violently shook fragile tents, making walking difficult.
These storms can increase health risks, particularly respiratory illnesses, as dust covers all areas.
Many displaced families live in makeshift shelters offering little protection from extreme weather, a situation aid groups previously warned could be deadly, especially given winter deaths already recorded.
