Gaza: A low-pressure system brings heavy rainfall, exacerbating the humanitarian situation for more than two million people.

Arab Weather - Weather experts at the Arab Weather Regional Center said that the latest data from what is called computer simulation indicates that the Gaza Strip will be affected in the coming days by a low-pressure system accompanied by a relatively cold and humid air mass. The low-pressure system is expected to bring large amounts of rain, approaching 100 mm in some areas, which will exacerbate the difficult humanitarian conditions of the people of the Strip.

The low-pressure system will begin to have a direct impact on Friday and will continue through Saturday.

In detail, the Gaza Strip is expected to be affected by unstable weather conditions during the evening and night hours of Thursday/Friday, so clouds will increase and showers of rain will fall. These showers will be thundery and heavy at times, leading to a rise in water levels and the occurrence of water accumulations.

By Friday, the full impact of the low-pressure system will begin to be felt in the Gaza Strip, causing a drop in temperatures and generally cold weather. The weather will be partly cloudy to cloudy, with intermittent rain that may be heavy at times and accompanied by thunder. Winds will be moderate to brisk from the southwest, particularly during periods of heavy rain.

The low-pressure system continues to affect Gaza this Saturday, raising fears of a worsening humanitarian situation.

Computer models from the Arab Weather Center indicate that the low-pressure system will continue to affect the Gaza Strip on Saturday, with temperatures dropping, especially at night. The weather will be almost wintry, cloudy and rainy at times, with occasional heavy rainfall leading to water accumulation and rising water levels in many areas, adding to the burden on displaced people living in inadequate tents.

The winds will be brisk and cold, significantly increasing the feeling of chill. Wind gusts are expected to exceed 50 km/h at times, which could have negative impacts on the camps for displaced people, especially given their weak infrastructure and lack of adequate protection. The sea will be rough along the Gaza Strip's coast, with waves reaching heights of up to 1.5 meters and a high probability of waves crashing onto the shore, where a large number of displaced people's tents are located.

The low-pressure system will bring large amounts of rain, and the infrastructure is unprepared.

The final rainfall totals are expected to be very heavy, ranging from 40 to 80 mm, and possibly reaching 100 mm in some areas, leading to flooding and rising water levels amidst already dire living conditions. May God help our brothers and sisters in Gaza; O God, shower them with Your mercy.

And God knows best.
