🚨As the Board of Peace criticises Israel over Gaza’s worsening humanitarian crisis, Fatah activists say Hamas prevents the Palestinian Authority from operating in Gaza.
@BaruchYedid reports Hamas security forces have reportedly summoned PA officials and employees from several ministries and humanitarian agencies, forcing them to sign pledges not to carry out any government activity without Hamas’s approval.
They were also barred from visiting or operating in displacement camps.
The dispute reportedly centers on a joint PA-UNDP project to establish improved housing camps using durable fiberglass tents ahead of winter. Hamas allegedly detained engineers and project staff and confiscated the tents.
Even humanitarian assistance and shelter for displaced Palestinians are being held hostage to Hamas’s refusal to allow the PA to operate independently in Gaza.
