Palestinian Authority, Board of Peace advance Gaza recovery coordination
Officials urge international donors to deliver promised funding as more than 2.2 million Palestinians remain trapped in worsening humanitarian crisis
ISTANBUL, Türkiye (MNTV) — The Palestinian Authority and the Board of Peace have intensified coordination efforts to accelerate humanitarian relief, restore essential public services and advance early recovery initiatives in the Gaza Strip, where Israel’s prolonged military campaign has left the enclave in ruins.
The discussions took place during a meeting of the Joint Coordination Office on the sidelines of the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee (AHLC) donor conference in Brussels, bringing together Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa, Board of Peace envoy for Gaza Nikolay Mladenov, National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) chief Ali Shaath and senior Palestinian officials.
According to the NCAG, participants reviewed measures to strengthen cooperation between Palestinian institutions and international partners to speed up the delivery of humanitarian assistance, rehabilitate basic services and prepare Gaza for large-scale reconstruction.
Officials emphasized that stronger coordination among Palestinian, regional and international stakeholders is essential to address the urgent needs of Gaza’s devastated population and ensure long-term recovery.
Shaath said the NCAG stands ready to immediately assume its responsibilities in Gaza, urging the international community to convert political commitments into concrete financial support capable of meeting the humanitarian and development needs of approximately 2.2 million Palestinians.
During the Brussels donor meeting, Shaath presented a comprehensive recovery framework aimed at moving Gaza from emergency relief toward early recovery and the gradual restoration of essential government services.
Participants also launched the “Gaza Team” initiative, bringing together more than 12 donor countries, the European Investment Bank and the World Bank to mobilize approximately $1 billion for Gaza’s recovery and reconstruction program.
The NCAG, a transitional technocratic body established under UN Security Council Resolution 2803 and the 20-point peace initiative proposed by US President Donald Trump, held its inaugural meeting in Cairo on Jan. 15, 2026.
Officials noted that although Hamas fulfilled its obligations during the first phase of the agreement by releasing Israeli captives, Israel failed to honor its humanitarian commitments and instead continued its military offensive, resulting in the deaths of 1,123 Palestinians and injuries to 3,616 others since Oct. 10, 2025.
The second phase of the agreement envisages a broader Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza, where Israeli forces continue to occupy more than 70% of the territory, alongside the start of reconstruction efforts in exchange for the disarmament of Palestinian factions.
However, Israel has refused to implement this phase, insisting that disarmament take precedence over withdrawal and reconstruction.
Israel’s nearly two-year military genocide has devastated Gaza, killing more than 73,000 Palestinians, wounding over 173,000 others and destroying around 90% of the enclave’s civilian infrastructure, leaving millions displaced and dependent on humanitarian aid while reconstruction remains largely blocked.
