Board of Peace calls Israel's Gaza flood aid response insufficient

bbc.co.uk —

The Board of Peace, a US-backed body formed by President Trump, has issued rare criticism of Israel, saying its aid response after Gaza floods is "insufficient" and demanding all necessary humanitarian supplies be allowed in immediately. The group acknowledged steps Israel is considering but said delays have worsened a foreseeable crisis. Israel's Cogat agency says it has allowed in over 91,000 tents and 8,200 trucks with winter supplies, while insisting reconstruction can only begin after Hamas fully disarms. Around 1.4 million people in Gaza live in tents or makeshift shelters, with UN stocks of essential winter items exhausted. The Board also blamed Hamas for compounding civilian suffering by failing to disarm and transfer power, while Hamas denied responsibility and accused Israel of blocking aid.
