Peace Council urges Israel to allow winter aid into Gaza after floods

The Trump administration’s Board of Peace called on Israel on Monday to immediately facilitate the entry of humanitarian and winterization supplies into the Gaza Strip. The Board of Peace, which is tasked with implementing an October 2025 US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, stated that seasonal flooding over the last two days has swamped tens of thousands of tents and makeshift shelters. According to Dawn, the heavy rain has killed at least five people.

The Board of Peace described the situation as an immediate humanitarian emergency rather than just a threat from approaching winter, noting that displaced families have been left in cold and unsafe conditions. The group has urged the Israeli government to authorize materials for shelter, water and sanitation infrastructure, drainage, and sewage removal, emphasizing the need for Israel to abide by the Sharm el-Sheikh Humanitarian Protocol.

While the Board of Peace acknowledged steps being considered by the Israeli government, it characterized the progress as insufficient.

Arutz Sheva - Israel National News reported that the Board of Peace also demanded that Hamas disarm. Earlier, the Israeli military stated it had allowed more than 8,200 trucks containing supplies, including 91,000 tents, to enter the territory.
