Board of Peace says Israel's aid response after Gaza floods 'insufficent'
BBC • • general
Key Points:
- The US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace has urged Israel to immediately allow all necessary humanitarian supplies into Gaza after rain flooded tens of thousands of tents housing displaced people.
- Israel has permitted tens of thousands of tents and winter supplies but insists reconstruction can only begin after Hamas fully disarms, a condition Hamas disputes.
- The Board of Peace criticized Israel for delays in approving aid entry, worsening humanitarian conditions, while also noting Hamas's failure to disarm has compounded civilian hardships.
- UN agencies report severe shortages of shelter and winter supplies in Gaza, with over 150,000 tents ready outside Gaza but restricted by Israeli controls and funding issues.
- The ongoing dispute over disarmament and governance under the 2025 ceasefire deal has stalled peace plan progress, with both Israel and Hamas blaming each other for delays amid continued suffering of Gaza civilians.
