Trump’s Board of Peace Urges Immediate Action for Flood-Stricken Gaza

WASHINGTON: The Board of Peace, established by former President Donald Trump, has called for urgent action from Israel to assist Gaza as the region faces severe flooding and humanitarian crises. In a statement released on Monday, the Board emphasized that the situation has escalated into an immediate humanitarian emergency, exacerbated by the impending winter.

Heavy rainfall over the past two days has devastated the territory, destroying tens of thousands of tents and displacing nearly the entire population at least once. Authorities in Gaza report that the floods have already claimed at least five lives, highlighting the dire need for immediate assistance.

The Board of Peace, which is responsible for overseeing the implementation of a US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas set for October 2025, criticized the current measures taken by Israel as insufficient. They stressed that the humanitarian needs of the Gazan population must be prioritized to prevent further loss of life and suffering.

Looking ahead, the Board of Peace is expected to engage with both Israeli and Palestinian authorities to facilitate a coordinated response to the crisis. As the winter approaches, the urgency for effective interventions becomes increasingly critical to ensure the safety and well-being of those affected.
