Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismisses claims — including from the U.S.-backed Board of Peace — that Israel is blocking winter supplies to Gaza. Severe rains have flooded makeshift tents, worsening conditions in the enclave. Netanyahu blames Hamas for the suffering, accusing them of seizing aid for military use. British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband and U.S. Senator Brian Schatz demand Israel allow aid into Gaza. Meanwhile, Iran reports a tanker caught fire after hitting a naval mine in the Strait of Hormuz. The British military also reports an incident with a tanker there. In Gaza, an Israeli strike kills one person, as tensions continue despite a ceasefire.
