OCHA?says civilians continue to be exposed to airstrikes,?naval fire,?shelling and?shooting?in residential areas across?Gaza.

Safety and security?partners?report that such incidents occurred over the weekend across?all governorates,?primarily?west of the so-called ¡°Yellow Line.¡±?The UN is?concerned about these reports with great concern that civilians are among those killed.

Access partners say Kerem Shalom remains the only crossing currently available for aid to enter Gaza. They also report that the Israeli checkpoint set up in early June in southern Gaza is no longer causing major delays for convoys reaching the crossing.

Over the weekend and into this morning, the UN has collected multiple shipments from Kerem Shalom, including food, blankets, education supplies, recreation items for children, hygiene kits, and fuel.

At the same time, partners continue to call for additional crossing points and for restrictions to be lifted on items that are difficult to get approval for.

Fuel, however, remains limited. There is no Value Added Tax exemption in Israel, so partners largely rely on a single Egyptian provider, who is not always able to meet the quantities required. In addition, Israeli authorities allow fuel imports ¨C whether from Egypt or Israel ¨C only during the limited opening hours of Kerem Shalom.

As a result, in the second week of June, humanitarian partners inside Gaza were forced to prioritize fuel allocations to life-saving services and suspend them for less critical ones. When fuel is available, generators often lack the lubricant oil needed to operate, and obtaining Israeli approval for it is also difficult.

Violence in the West Bank also?remains?at concerning levels.?Yesterday, Israeli forces shot and killed?a boy and a man who were allegedly within a group?burning?tires and throwing Molotov cocktails towards a settlement in Hebron Area.

In law enforcement contexts across the West Bank, lethal force may only be used as a last resort. Those perpetrating unlawful attacks must be held to account.

OCHA also warns of constraints that continue to impede humanitarian access and aid delivery into and within the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.?Between January and May this year, partners recorded 230 access incidents linked to checkpoints, road closures and other obstacles. These have led to delays in relief work and, in some cases, the cancellation of humanitarian missions.

Ongoing?restrictions?on?the UN Relief and Works Agency and on?NGOs?apply?to?both?Gaza?and the West Bank, including?East Jerusalem.
