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

On November 7, 2026, heavy rains flooded tens of thousands of tents housing displaced people in Gaza, leaving them without shelter and straining local civil defense resources. Mahmoud Bassal, a spokesman for the Civil Defence agency, reported receiving over 1,500 calls for assistance during one night alone. As of November 9, at least five deaths were confirmed due to a collapsed sand embankment near tents in central Gaza, killing three children and two women. The incident highlights ongoing humanitarian challenges as 70,000 tents remain flooded, and displaced Palestinians continue to live under precarious conditions amid the aftermath of conflict and natural disasters.

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.
