\u201cPeople in Gaza desperately need shelter and humanitarian assistance,\u201d the statement said. \u201cYet 150,000 tents and other vital supplies are being held at the border and prevented from entering Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n

For years, Israel has restricted entry and exports into Gaza, home to more than 2 million people.<\/p>\n

But since the start of its genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, Israel has placed the Palestinian territory under a full-scale blockade, limiting access to even essential supplies like food and water.<\/p>\n

Under the Geneva Convention, denying civilians access to humanitarian aid can constitute a war crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe today urge the Government of Israel to stop the delays now and allow immediate, rapid and unimpeded humanitarian access throughout Gaza,\u201d Sunday\u2019s statement said.<\/p>\n

Heavy rain this month swept away tens of thousands of tents in the territory, leaving many without shelter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis situation is entirely reversible\u201d, Sunday\u2019s statement said, \u201cand there is still time to act before the winter fully sets in\u201d.<\/p>\n

More than 1.9 million people have been displaced in Gaza, according to the United Nations, many of them suffering displacement multiple times.<\/p>\n

As of November 1, the Global Shelter Cluster, a humanitarian organisation that coordinates with the Red Cross and the UN, estimated that Gaza residents need at least 1.7 million mattresses and 121,000 tents to face this season\u2019s cold, rainy weather.<\/p>\n

During Israel\u2019s genocidal war, entire neighbourhoods and cities were levelled. Some of the structures that remain are unstable.<\/p>\n

In September, at least 20 people were killed when a building they were sheltering in collapsed.<\/p>\n

Shelter is only one factor in the ongoing humanitarian crisis, though.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza have been plunged into poverty since Israel began its genocidal war. The price of basic goods has soared as incomes have shrunk due to the war and Israel\u2019s tightened siege.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s statement follows a similar appeal from the UN\u2019s Humanitarian Country Team of the Occupied Palestinian Territory on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe devastating impact of the latest rainstorm in Gaza was preventable,\u201d the team wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cChildren and adults were killed, critical services suspended, and thousands of family shelters flooded, swept away, or torn apart \u2013 not by the storm alone, but by policy decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The European Union also released a statement on Saturday, expressing \u201cgrave concern\u201d over the humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n

It urged Israel to \u201callow immediate, unimpeded access\u201d to humanitarian aid and \u201creopen all Gaza border crossings\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s joint appeal also called on all parties to \u201cimplement the Comprehensive Plan for Gaza\u201d, a plan unveiled in 2025 that called for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.<\/p>\n

But attacks have continued, including on Thursday, when an Israeli air strike on Gaza\u2019s Nasser Hospital killed six Palestinians.<\/p>\n

Israel is the subject of an ongoing genocide case before the International Court of Justice, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister, Yoav Gallant, have been issued arrest warrants by the International Criminal Court.<\/p>\n

They have been accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
