Heavy rain and subsequent floods have swept through Gaza, endangering families and putting war-damaged buildings at risk of collapse. Israeli bombings previously damaged the buildings now threatened by the inundation.
Active conflict area. Check your government's travel advisory before any travel to Gaza,
and follow your embassy's instructions if you are already there.
Never walk or drive through floodwater — 30 cm of moving water can carry a car.
Follow evacuation orders and move to higher ground early, not when water is already rising.
Keep your phone charged and follow the national weather service for updates.
Emergency numbers
Call the local emergency number and follow instructions from local authorities. Your embassy can confirm the right number.
