The World Peace Council (WPC) has urged the Israeli government to permit the entry of materials into the Gaza Strip for temporary housing, water and sewage systems, and wastewater pumping equipment. The call follows heavy rains that flooded thousands of tents and temporary shelters in the Gaza Strip. In a statement issued on November 9, the WPC acknowledged Israel's consideration of additional aid measures but deemed them insufficient. The council believes that delays in fulfilling humanitarian obligations have exacerbated the impact of the severe weather and hindered the implementation of U.S. President Donald Trump's peace plan. Concurrently, the WPC demanded that Hamas cease military activities in civilian areas and near Israeli positions, lay down its arms, and transfer control of Gaza to a national committee. The statement also reaffirmed Hamas's responsibility for the October 7, 2023 attack. The WPC called on the UN and international donors to urgently provide necessary aid, warning that parties failing to meet their obligations will be held accountable for the consequences.
