Quick Summary

President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” criticized Israel on Monday for not doing enough to help Gaza prepare for winter flooding, which has already caused significant damage. Heavy rains have destroyed tens of thousands of tents and killed at least five people in Gaza, where most residents have been displaced multiple times due to conflict. The Board of Peace noted that despite allowing over 8,200 trucks with supplies into Gaza, including 91,000 tents, Israel’s actions remain insufficient according to the board. They called on Israeli leadership to facilitate more humanitarian aid immediately and urged Hamas to comply with ceasefire commitments.

Story summary

Torrential rain on November 8, 2026, caused a sand embankment to collapse onto tents in central Gaza, killing three children and one woman near Deir al-Balah. The incident highlighted the danger faced by hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians living in tent encampments following Israel's two-year military assault launched after Hamas attacks on southern Israel in 2023. About 70,000 tents were flooded, leaving residents without shelter and prompting calls for urgent international assistance to provide safe shelters and move tents away from sandy areas at risk of collapse. The Civil Defence service, which operates under the Hamas-run interior ministry, reported issuing an urgent distress call due to the lack of equipment or capabilities to handle such emergencies effectively.

Narrative

Israel’s relentless campaign prior to the so-called ceasefire killed over 74,000 Palestinians and has left it increasingly isolated on the world stage, with Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and experts declaring its actions in Gaza as a “genocide”, which Tel Aviv rejects. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is fighting for his political survival following tight elections last month, has vowed to kill anyone involved in Hamas’s Oct 7, 2023 attack, the deadliest day ever for Israel.
