Palestinian National Council Calls for Urgent International Action to Address Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza Strip

On 9 November 2026, the Palestinian National Council issued an urgent appeal addressed to the Palestinian people, parliaments, and regional and international parliamentary unions, calling for immediate action to save Palestinians in the Gaza Strip amid the worsening humanitarian catastrophe caused by heavy rainfall, floods and cold spells. The appeal highlighted to the continued Israeli occupation of approximately 70% of the Strip and the imposition of forced displacement, thereby exposing hundreds of thousands of displaced people, particularly children, women and the elderly, to serious risks.

The Council also warned against the continued Israeli Government ban on the entry of tents and shelter materials, considering this a violation of the rules of international humanitarian law. It further called for urgent parliamentary and international intervention to exert pressure on the occupying authorities to allow the unhindered entry of humanitarian and relief aid. The Council stressed the need for decisive international stances and concrete measures to ensure the protection of Palestinian civilians and provide the necessary relief to those affected.
