Trump presses Netanyahu on Gaza peace plan as flooding worsens camp crisis
Displaced Palestinians in Gaza face dire conditions as flooding from recent rains overwhelms tent camps, with residents expressing desperation and anger over the lack of assistance. U.S. President Donald Trump has pressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to proceed with a peace plan for Gaza following Israel's elections. The enclave's population is confined to just over 30% of the territory, mainly along the coast and in the al-Mawasi area, where sewage systems are nonexistent and most tents are damaged. Displaced individuals question the distribution of international aid, while Israel's Cogat reports sending over 91,000 tents and 8,200 trucks of winter supplies in recent months. Local testimonies criticize both Hamas's emergency management and municipal inaction, with activists alleging aid is requisitioned and sold on the black market. The Palestinian presidency blames Israel for worsening the crisis, while the Board of Peace urges progress on a technocrat government during the political transition.
