OCHA reports that humanitarian partners continue to scale up assistance across the Gaza Strip.

Between 20 April and last Sunday, WHO and its partners supported the medical evacuation of 104 patients and over 160 of their companions through the Rafah crossing.

During the same period, health partners provided sexual and reproductive health services to nearly 16,000 women?and girls in more than 20 health facilities across all governorates despite ongoing insecurity and access constraints.

Thousands of patients in Gaza remain without access to the treatment they?need. Scaling up health services within Gaza remains a top priority, requiring the facilitation of the entry of critical equipment.

Since the declaration of a ceasefire in October, humanitarian partners have supported 92 health service points, but as of Saturday, only 296 of 683 health service points are functioning, and only 23 are fully operational. These include hospitals, field hospitals and primary health?care centres.

On education, partners report that between 20 April and last Sunday, they distributed nearly 200 kits to support schooling, child recreation and early childhood, benefitting over 13,000 girls and boys.?Education partners have also set up more weather-resistant tents, contributing to the scale-up in six learning spaces.

The UN can do more if more crossings are open and operate consistently, Israeli restrictions on critical humanitarian items are lifted, and effective safeguards for aid workers are in place.

In the West Bank, OCHA reports that Israeli forces carried out an 18?hour operation in and near Qalandiya Camp yesterday, in Jerusalem governorate.

The operation involved large?scale searches, detentions and movement restrictions, resulting in injuries, property damage and temporary displacement. They also closed existing roadblocks and earth mounds in nearby Kafr ‘Aqab and Ar Ram, leading to the temporary closure of schools and clinics, while access for ambulances was hindered.

This operation is part of a pattern which has resulted in casualties, displacement, damage to civilian property and access restrictions, particularly in refugee camps. OCHA reiterates that civilians must be protected and that access to medical services must be ensured.
