On Monday, November 9, Donald Trump’s "Board of Peace" issued an urgent appeal for Israel to ramp up humanitarian efforts in Gaza, citing a rapidly escalating emergency ahead of the winter season. The board, which is responsible for overseeing the October 2025 ceasefire agreement, noted that previous efforts to prepare for heavy rains have been inadequate. This warning follows recent severe weather that destroyed thousands of makeshift tents and resulted in at least five deaths, leaving a displaced population struggling to survive in the face of imminent flooding.

While the Israeli military claims to have facilitated the delivery of over 8,200 trucks containing essential supplies like tents, the Board of Peace maintains that these measures are insufficient to handle the scale of the crisis. The board has formally requested that the Israeli government expedite the entry of all necessary winterization materials. Meanwhile, diplomatic tensions remain high, with Israeli officials pushing back against the criticism by asserting that Hamas should be held accountable for failing to build proper infrastructure instead of prioritizing military armaments.
