COGAT Rejects Hamas Allegations of Unpreparedness for Winter Rain, Says 91,000 New Tents Delivered
The UN says more than 150,000 tents are waiting outside Gaza as aid groups seek approvals for shelter, fuel and winter supplies.
- Heavy rains flooded the Gaza Strip over the weekend, killing several people as Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher demanded the immediate opening of all crossings to deliver aid.
- Humanitarian partners have more than 150,000 tents ready outside Gaza, yet Fletcher stressed that waiting for the formation of a Government is "not an acceptable excuse" for delaying aid.
- In Gaza, unemployment reached 85.1 per cent as 252,000 jobs were lost between 2023 and 2025, with ILO Director-General Gilbert Houngbo noting labour income losses totalled $2.77 billion.
- Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator Ramiz Alakbarov emphasized that humanitarian aid alone cannot restore livelihoods; the Decent Work and Recovery Programme supports emergency employment and social protection.
- Fletcher urged the international community to let vital NGO partners work and allow commercial markets to function across the Occupied Palestinian Territory to end preventable suffering.
