International Stabilization Force in Gaza. Israel approved the deployment of 250 foreign soldiers

Hamas stated that the Peace Council presented a "distorted narrative" regarding the causes of the flood in the Gaza Strip and that the council ignored the responsibility of Israel, which prevented the implementation of US President Donald Trump's plan and restricted the entry of aid.

In the written statement made by Hamas, it was pointed out that the allegations that Hamas prevented the implementation of the road map contradicted the official statements of the mediators, especially Egypt, Qatar and Turkey, and reminded that the mediator countries confirmed on August 3, 2026 that although Hamas and the groups approved the road map, Israeli violations disrupted the implementation of the second phase.

The statement emphasized that turning a humanitarian disaster and life-saving aid into an element of political pressure is incompatible with humanitarian and legal obligations, and noted that the United Nations (UN) reported that tens of thousands of families were affected by the flood, but a large number of shelter materials were kept outside the border, waiting to be allowed to enter.

Hamas called on the Peace Board, the party responsible for implementing the plan, to clarify its responsibility for its "negligence" in combating the humanitarian crisis, to force the Israeli government to fulfill its phase one commitments, and to open the border crossings to aid, shelter and recovery supplies, regardless of any political or security conditions.

The Gaza Peace Board warned of an "emergency" regarding the severe floods in the region and the approaching winter conditions and called on Israel to allow the necessary aid materials to enter Gaza.

70 THOUSAND TENTS WERE UNDER WATER

Cold weather conditions accompanied by heavy rain and wind have continued to affect the Gaza Strip since November 6.

According to the data announced by the media office of the government in Gaza and the Civil Defense Directorate, 70 thousand tents and all the camps where the displaced people stayed were flooded due to adverse weather conditions.

While 4 houses and dozens of walls, which were heavily damaged in Israel's genocidal attacks, collapsed, it was reported that the condition of some Palestinians injured due to the adverse conditions was critical.

APPROXIMATELY 2 THOUSAND BUILDINGS MAY COLLAPSE AT ANY TIME

In his previous statement, Gaza Ministry of Health Director General Munir al-Bursh warned that approximately 2 thousand buildings damaged in Israeli attacks could collapse at any time and fall on Palestinians living in or around them.

Burş said that families who could not leave their homes had to stay in these structures despite the danger to their lives because they could not find an alternative shelter or tent.
