President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” announced Monday, November 9, that Israel needed to act promptly to help war-torn Gaza deal with the impending winter, claiming that preparations for fatal floods had been insufficient.
The situation has evolved into an imminent humanitarian emergency, rather than just a threat posed by the approaching winter, according to the Board of Peace. Heavy rains over the last two days have swept away tens of thousands of tents in the enclave, where nearly the entire population has been moved at least once, killing at least five people, according to Hamas-led authorities in Gaza. Moments before the declaration, the Israeli military announced that it had permitted more than 8,200 vehicles carrying goods, including 91,000 tents, to enter the Gaza Strip.
The Board of Peace praised Israel’s efforts but called them “insufficient. We urge Israel’s present government leadership to act quickly to allow and facilitate the arrival of all required winterisation and humanitarian goods,” the statement read. Israel has adopted a harsh stance against Hamas over the floods, claiming that the Palestinian group should have invested in infrastructure rather than weapons.
