دعا مجلس السلام الذي يرأسه الرئيس الأمريكي دونالد ترامب إسرائيل إلى السماح فوراً بدخول جميع الإمدادات الإنسانية الضرورية إلى غزة، بعد أن تسببت الأمطار في غمر عشرات الآلاف من الخيام.
وأقرت الهيئة المدعومة من الولايات المتحدة، والتي أُنشئت للإشراف على تنفيذ خطة ترامب للسلام في غزة، بخطوات تدرسها إسرائيل حالياً، لكنها قالت إن "الاستجابة لا تزال غير كافية".
Five killed in a sand collapse on a tent for displaced people in Gaza, and rain floods the displacement camps
The Israeli military agency responsible for coordinating the entry of aid into Gaza said that it had allowed the entry of tens of thousands of tents and trucks loaded with winter supplies, but added that reconstruction “cannot begin until Hamas is completely disarmed.”
Three children and a woman were killed on Sunday, when a sand berm collapsed over tents in the central Gaza Strip.
Most of Gaza's population was displaced due to Israeli military operations. The United Nations says that about 65 percent of the population, or approximately 1.4 million people, are now living in tents or temporary shelters.
وقال محمد جنيد لوكالة الأنباء الفرنسية وهو يقف مبتلّاً في مدينة غزة إن الأمطار الغزيرة هطلت عليهم من جهة، وفاضت مياه الصرف الصحي عليهم من الجهة الأخرى، ولم تعد الأرض ولا الخيام قادرة على الصمود.
He added: "We no longer have anything, no sleeping blankets, no food, nothing."
ومن داخل خيمتها، قالت إسلام المبيّض لوكالة الأنباء الفرنسية إن هناك سبعة أطفال داخل الخيمة، خمسة منهم صغار السن.
She added: "This is not life. We are exhausted, tired of this whole life."
وفي انتقاد نادر لإسرائيل، قال مجلس السلام إنه كان يحث الحكومة الإسرائيلية على السماح بدخول السلع الأساسية اللازمة للمأوى المؤقت والبنية التحتية للمياه والصرف الصحي.
The Council added that the delay in approving the entry of supplies “exacerbated the consequences of a foreseeable humanitarian challenge” and delayed the start of the arms removal process and the transfer of Hamas authority to a transitional government.
The Council also noted that Hamas's failure to disarm and transfer power has made the conditions facing civilians in Gaza more difficult.
The United Nations Agency for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that more than 150,000 tents are ready to enter Gaza, but relief efforts are still restricted “due to Israeli restrictions on the entry of supplies and equipment and a lack of funding.”
وقال منسق الشؤون الإنسانية للأمم المتحدة، رامز الأكبروف، يوم الاثنين إن مخزونات مواد الإيواء الأساسية ومستلزمات الشتاء داخل غزة استنفدت.
“The Israeli authorities must immediately lift all restrictions on the entry of these supplies,” he added, adding: “We have run out of time.”
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Michal Mayan said on Monday that Israel has developed a plan for the winter in recent months in coordination with the Peace Council and a number of international charitable institutions.
According to COGAT, the Israeli military body responsible for aid, this plan led to the introduction of more than 91,000 tents and more than 8,200 trucks loaded with tarpaulins, blankets, winter clothing and other equipment.
COGAT announced that it would not allow the entry of any equipment that could be used for military purposes.
Mayan accused Hamas of hoarding aid, saying: "Hamas is responsible for the delay in making further progress in the Strip, and the difficulties associated with the winter are a result of Hamas' actions and policies."
In response to the Peace Council's statement, Hamas said in a statement published by Palestinian media that the Council's statement "presents a distorted account of the causes of the disaster." The movement denied responsibility for delaying a ceasefire, pointing to a statement issued in August by Egyptian, Qatari, and Turkish mediators that accused Israel of committing violations.
Hamas said that Israeli restrictions prevent the entry of materials needed for shelter and recovery, adding that the Peace Council, as the body supervising the implementation of the ceasefire, must look into its “serious shortcomings.”
Under the agreement that ended the two-year war in October 2025, Hamas agreed to give up administration of the Strip and its weapons in exchange for a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the 60 percent of Gaza it was still occupying. However, Israel insisted that Hamas completely disarm before any withdrawal.
