Hamas calls on ceasefire guarantors to act on aid as parts of Gaza in 'pools of mud'

Hamas on Friday called on the guarantors of the ceasefire deal to push Israel to meet its aid obligations after heavy rainfall turned parts of the enclave into "pools of mud", the group said.

Thousands of tents sheltering displaced Palestinian families have been destroyed. 

"The dire situation of the displaced underscores the urgent and immediate need for relief and shelter amid the occupier's continued delays in allowing aid, tents, and caravans to enter," Hamas said in a statement.

"We call upon the guarantors of the agreement, just as we call upon the United Nations, the Arab League, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, to take urgent action to deliver supplies to Gaza".
