Gaza Ministry of Health:

▪ We have received official reports from several accredited transport companies announcing the complete suspension of services as of today, Sunday, 8 November 2026, due to the worsening financial crisis and the non-payment of their dues, in addition to a large number of buses going out of service as a result of repeated breakdowns and the shortage of spare parts, oils and tires.

▪ We warn of serious and unprecedented consequences that may threaten hospitals and primary health care centers as a result of the worsening crisis of transporting teams and medical personnel to their workplaces, threatening the suspension of urgent and life-saving medical services.

▪ We confirm that the stoppage of staff transport movement will impede the arrival of doctors, nurses and technicians to their hospitals, indicating the possibility of an almost total paralysis in vital departments, operating rooms and intensive care units.

▪ We place the concerned authorities and international and relief institutions before their humanitarian responsibilities and call on them to intervene immediately to address the crisis of transport companies’ dues and provide the necessary logistical and operational needs to ensure the continued operation of transport means and preserve what remains of the health system’s ability to withstand.

Rami Abdu: ▪ We warned two days ago of a humanitarian catastrophe with the onset of winter amid an urgent need for about 200,000 tents and one million tarpaulins. ▪ As tens of thousands of tents are flooded, the world asks: Where is the Peace Council and the National Committee for Managing Gaza? And why are they absent from the scene? ▪ The occupation bears primary responsibility for the destruction and displacement, but the silence of the Peace Council and the newly established structures makes it a partner in responsibility for what is happening. ▪ The occupation continues to refuse the entry of shelter supplies, including about 8,600 emergency shelter kits that were ready outside the Strip. ▪ The Peace Council has been preoccupied with security files and political arrangements that serve the interests and security of the occupation, while the protection of civilians is left hostage to its conditions. ▪ We called for ending the work of the Peace Council and lifting the cover from it after it proved its failure to stop the ceasefire or improve the humanitarian conditions of civilians. ▪ We call on the international community to act urgently to compel the occupation to open the crossings for tents, temporary housing and civil defense equipment without bargaining.
