GAZA, December 29, 2025 (WAFA) - The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said that months of war and displacement forced people in Gaza to live amid collapsing ruins in makeshift shelters or in flimsy tents.
“While Storm Byron that struck Gaza from December 10 was a natural hazard, its consequences are man-made,” said UNRWA in a post on X.
According to the Shelter Cluster in Gaza, 17 buildings are estimated to have collapsed, and more than 42,000 tents or makeshift shelters are estimated to have sustained full or partial damage, between 10 and 17 December, affecting at least 235,000 people.
