Arab Weather - God willing, the direct effects of the low-pressure system will cover all areas of the Gaza Strip on Friday, leading to a clear disturbance in the weather, characterized by strong winds, a significant and noticeable increase in wave height, accompanied by heavy rains with thunderstorms, and a noticeable drop in temperatures.

In detail, forecasts indicate that the Gaza Strip will be affected on Friday by a low-pressure system that will cause a significant increase in wind speed, leading to a noticeable rise in waves and severe sea conditions, with the risk of sea waves entering the coastal areas of the Strip.

These conditions coincide with heavy rainfall accompanied by strong thunderstorms, in addition to a significant and noticeable drop in temperatures, resulting in cold to very cold weather during the period of the low-pressure system's influence.

Significant humanitarian consequences during the storm

This weather condition is exacerbating the already difficult humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, especially given the large number of displaced people who lack safe shelter to protect them from the cold, heavy rain, strong winds, high waves and other weather phenomena associated with the low-pressure system.

We ask God for mercy and help for our people in the Gaza Strip, and that He may alleviate these difficult circumstances for them.
