Netanyahu blames Hamas as Gaza floods worsen aid crisis

thehindu.com [$] — November 11, 2026 at 03:01 PM UTC

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected accusations that Israel is delaying winter supplies to Gaza, blaming Hamas for the enclave's worsening conditions as severe rains flood makeshift tents. The U.S.-created Board of Peace said Monday that Israel's delays had "exacerbated the consequences of a foreseeable humanitarian challenge." Netanyahu countered that Hamas refuses to disarm and seizes aid for military purposes, while heavy rains have flooded about 70,000 tents and killed four people. International pressure is mounting, with British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband demanding Israel end "arbitrary restrictions" on aid, and U.S. Senator Brian Schatz calling for immediate delivery of winter gear, describing assistance as a "basic human obligation."
