The Board of Peace is expected to soon begin managing humanitarian shelter centers in parts of the Gaza Strip not controlled by Hamas, according to a report cited by Anadolu.
The supplied evidence says Tel al-Sultan near Rafah will be the first destination to which civilians are directed. That makes the initiative highly specific in geographic terms even though the broader organizational structure remains somewhat opaque. The Board of Peace is presented as a body organized by US President Donald Trump to manage Gaza, but the packet does not include the board's founding document, membership list or formal mandate.
What is clear is that the reported plan would shift practical control of humanitarian shelter centers into a new arrangement inside Gaza. That is a significant administrative step because shelter centers are among the most sensitive institutions in any conflict zone. They are not only places of refuge; they also serve as nodes for food distribution, registration, medical screening and civilian coordination.
The report suggests the first operational focus is the southern Gaza area around Rafah. That region has repeatedly featured in humanitarian planning because of displacement, population movement and access constraints. If civilians are indeed being directed first to Tel al-Sultan, then the plan is likely intended to organize movement and sheltering in a part of the strip that can still receive large numbers of people.
The evidence also says the Board of Peace has not taken over power from Hamas more than six months after its creation. That detail matters because it frames the reported move as partial and limited rather than a full transfer of governance. In other words, the board appears to be handling selected civilian functions while broader political control remains unresolved.
Because the supplied material is based on Israeli media reporting and a summary from Anadolu, the article should be careful not to overstate certainty. The evidence does not show how many shelter centers are involved, which humanitarian agencies would participate, or what security guarantees would apply. It also does not confirm whether civilians are already being moved or only being designated for future transfer.
Still, the reported step is notable. Humanitarian shelter management in Gaza is politically charged because any change in administration can affect aid access, safety and perceptions of legitimacy. If a US-backed board is to take on the role, even in a limited area, it would mark a new phase in the effort to organize civilian support inside the territory.
For now, the key facts are the reported destination, the planned management role and the continuing uncertainty around the board's wider authority. The evidence supports a story about an operational handoff, not a completed political settlement.
