tents are packed and waiting at Gaza's border. Israel is deliberately keeping them out.

Trucks loaded with mobile homes wait in line on the Egyptian side of the border, blocked from entering Gaza.

The people of Gaza are sleeping in floodwater.

Demand U.S. pressure on Israel to let the tents in. Families, the elderly, the sick and the newborn are in their fourth winter under plastic. The shelter that would save them is at the border. Israel promised to let it in under the U.S.-brokered ceasefire, and is refusing.

This is not a delay

It's a decision. Israel is blocking the tents on purpose.

The tents are not stuck in traffic. Israel agreed to let them in under the ceasefire, then chose to keep most of them out: it bans mobile homes, rations shelter materials and lets in a fraction of what it promised.

    "dual-use" trucks a week

    Timber, metal sheeting and tools that make a shelter watertight are rationed. At that rate, the 500+ truckloads waiting take more than seven months.

    A rain-soaked sand embankment fell onto tents in Deir al-Balah on Nov 9. Even Trump's Board of Peace calls Israel's response "insufficient."
