Board of Peace urges Israel to allow winter aid into Gaza

The Board of Peace urged Israel’s government to allow humanitarian and winter-preparation supplies into Gaza after flooding, Asharq News reported. The outlet said the Board described seasonal flooding over the preceding two days as inundating tens of thousands of tents and temporary shelters, damaging essential belongings and leaving thousands exposed to cold and unsafe conditions. The Board said shelter, sanitation and drainage supplies were needed, and called on the United Nations and international donors to coordinate urgent support. It acknowledged steps under consideration by COGAT but said the response remained inadequate. The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs has welcomed the peace plan’s second phase, the Board of Peace and the Palestinian National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, while calling for unrestricted aid, Gaza’s unity, Palestinian Authority governance and progress toward an independent Palestinian state. In a joint statement published by the Saudi Press Agency on August 16, 2026, Saudi Arabia and other states condemned Israel’s announced rejection of the roadmap, saying it threatened implementation and obstructed peace efforts.
