The recent torrential floods on 6th November 2026 flooded the tents at Displacement camps in Gaza caused the collapse of dunes resulted the death of five people including three children and two women at Deir Balah. The torrential rains made the life miserable of 2 million Palestinians in Gaza where the rescue and relief operations are controlled by Israeli government and Hamas administrators. The recent destruction of the Gaza initiated after the October 7th 2023 Hamas attack on the southern Israel which provided Israel a chance to control the 141 square miles territory called the Gaza Strip a part of the Palestinian state governed and controlled by Hamas since 2006. Israel wanted to control the area and displace the Gaza population to the neighboring Arab states in order to control the oil and gas resources on the shores of Gaza and construct the Ben Gurion canal to bypass the Suez, and construct new Israeli settlements and makes the area economic hub for the region. The continuous destruction of infrastructure has raised the recent assessments to US$ 71 billion for the reconstruction of the area.
The War has cost Gaza a great damage as the recent report of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) estimated that 73,000 Palestinians are killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since October 2023, 174,000 injured, and 373,000 housing units destroyed which forced 65% of the population of Gaza or roughly 1.4 million people lives in make shift shelters/tents in 16,00 displacement sites across Gaza, and the recent torrential rains have greatly affected their lives. Despite the ceasefire reached on 10th October 2025 the violations continued till today and Israel continued to block the access to the international support to rebuild the Gaza and provide aid and assistance to the devastated region. The continued violence as well as food insecurity in the region due to famine of August 2025 has life miserable in the Gaza. There is the urgent need of food, shelter, medicines and water for the people of Gaza as the shortage of food and devastation of their homes has further complicated the situation and the humanitarian crisis may erupt in the winter which becomes more challenging for these people in tents.
Israeli continues to threaten the global peace through wars of aggression and its racist policies towards the Palestinians and other communities across the region. The focus has diverted towards the Iran and global energy crisis in recent times but their involvement in genocide in Gaza, and the attack on Palestinians in West Bank will remain a major source of hatred towards Israelis across the globe. Israels expansionist policies since 1948 were designed to control the Palestinian territories through settlements and increased violence to force them to leave the country. These settlements were labelled as illegal occupation of Israel by the international organizations and their expansionism has raised global outrage, and 2024 advisory of international Court of Justice which called the Israeli settlements illegal. Israel has established 148 settlements on occupied territory in West bank including 15 in East Jerusalem with a settler population of 750,000, and more than 25,000 Israeli settlers reside in Golan Heights a Syrian territory which was occupied in 1967in recent years.
The settlers attacks on Palestinian harvests including the olive harvests, imposition of restrictions on movements of Palestinians in West Bank, and depriving Palestinian of their fundamental rights makes the situation further worse for Palestinians who desire for the free and independent state of Palestine. The IDF genocide in Gaza and the continued settler violence in West Bank remains the major source of the increased hatred towards the Jews particularly Israeli citizens across the globe. The US midterm elections and the demonstrations across western world is viewed a sign of growing hatred towards its policies which threatens the western democracy and human rights norms. The US and western states support to the regime despite the International Criminal Court (ICC) issuance of arrest warrants for PM Netanyahu and Israeli defence Minister Yaor Gallant for crimes against humanity in November 2024.
The international community’s growing criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank reflects mounting concerns over the erosion of human rights, international law and global democratic values, particularly in light of continued Western support for the Israeli government despite international legal proceedings.
Trump has asked the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to proceed with the Gaza Peace Plan which aims to disarm Hamas, demilitarize the area and hand the power to the Palestinian technocrat government. Netanyahu is not interested to resolve the issue as Trumps Board of Peace has already accused Tel Aviv of blocking the aid to the Gaza to protect them from harsh winter as 70,000 tents of Palestinians in the area are flooded after the torrential rains since 6th November 2026 that resulted the death of 5 innocent people. Tel Aviv continues to halt the aid package to Gaza and bloc the international borders. As the Board asked Israel to permit shelter materials, drainage equipment and sanitation supplies to the region. The torrential rains increased the plight of people as 26,000 households were damaged. The international community criticized the Israeli actions in Gaza and their blockade of rescue operations as UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres accused Israels illegal annexation of Palestinian territories in West Bank, and emphasized the Israeli government to open the Rafah crossing for the rescue and relief operations in Gaza strip. The UN authorities continue to criticize the Israeli actions including UN Deputy Special Coordinator who criticized the Israel that it has blocked the 150,000 tents, and necessary shelter and winter items to be delivered to Gaza but the Israeli authorities closed the border crossings. Tel Aviv needs to remove the restrictions on flow of aid to make the relief operations possible in the area.
The global community including the Muslim world has criticized the Israeli government of their barbaric acts and restriction on flow of aid towards the Gaza. The global outrage has further increased with the latest humanitarian crisis and new government in Israel will face challenges to distance itself from the Netanyahus policies of genocide of the Palestinians, and accept the Palestinian state and eliminate the settlements in the West Bank to give peace a chance in the region, and improve its own image as the state.
The new government if formed under the Eisenkot may provide a fresh air for Palestinians as Eisenkot himself pursued to control the settler violence and increased settlements, and maintain cordial ties with its neighbors, and push for the demilitarization of the region. The increased US pressure on Tel Aviv to go ahead with the Gaza Peace plan, and ending the settler violence as well as desire of Tel Aviv to end their global isolation and increased hatred through ending the conflict in the region and improve their ties with the neighboring Arab states remains a best chance for the Palestinians to survive the harsh winter in Gaza with torrential rains, and famine. The increased rescue and aid operations and global support to reconstruction of Gaza and end of Israeli oppression in the area will provide an opportunity to survive the harsh years.
