The Peace Council has criticized Israel for delaying the entry of essential winter supplies into Gaza, citing the "immediate humanitarian emergency" caused by recent severe flooding. The council expressed deep concern over the seasonal floods that have damaged property and displaced families already living in precarious conditions, leaving them exposed to cold and unsafe environments.
In a statement, the council emphasized the critical need for immediate delivery and distribution of supplies for shelter, sanitation, drainage, and additional winter equipment to protect civilian lives. While acknowledging significant humanitarian progress in Gaza over the past year, including improved food access and nutrition, the council stressed that these gains are insufficient and must be protected, not undermined by preventable humanitarian crises.
The Peace Council also stated it has urged the Israeli government to approve the entry of materials for temporary shelter, water and sanitation infrastructure, waste management, drainage, and sewage disposal, fulfilling its commitments. However, the council deemed Israel's response thus far as "insufficient" and called for immediate action to approve and facilitate the entry of all necessary winter equipment and humanitarian aid.
Concurrently, the council reported repeated pressure on Hamas to lay down its arms, relinquish governing authority, and fulfill its obligations under a proposed plan. The council concluded that the time for unfulfilled promises has passed and urged all parties to demonstrate the urgency, seriousness, and determination required by the current situation.
