OCHA warns that civilians in?Gaza?continue to face military activity, displacement and major public health risks.

Today, UNRWA??that amid overcrowding in the Strip, the agency continues implementing cleaning campaigns, community awareness activities and targeted pesticide application, alongside solid waste disposal and other efforts to improve environmental conditions. In total, UNRWA says that since 7 June, measures to control the spread of disease-carrying animals and pests have been implemented in over 370 displacement sites across Gaza, which are jointly hosting more than 680,000 people.

The UN and its partners also continue to support people in Gaza with food. Last month, partners provided general food assistance to over 750,000 people through three dozen distribution sites as part of the monthly distribution cycle. As of earlier this week, about 120,000 two-kilogram bread bundles were produced every day by nearly 30 subsidized bakeries.

As of last Wednesday, partners were also preparing more than 700,000 meals every day through nearly 100 kitchens. These meals are delivered across over 1,100 locations, including hospitals.

Partners working to support food security warn of shortages in refrigeration, without which people have less access to fresh food. Approvals are urgently needed to bring in relevant equipment, especially as temperatures rise.

Meanwhile, partners working on shelter say that last week, they provided some 4,000 households with tents, tarpaulins, bedding kits and clothes, including through vouchers. They also repaired and upgraded about 850 makeshift shelters and completed the repair of over 450 damaged homes.

Still, they warn that stocks are nearly depleted because of supply chain disruptions and funding gaps.

Malnutrition screening and treatment are also ongoing. In the first half of June, partners screened over 31,000 children, identifying acute malnutrition in nearly 1,500 of them, including more than 200 severe cases. All have been enrolled in treatment. They also screened nearly 24,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women and are providing treatment to those affected.

However, the humanitarian response in Gaza is still falling short of what is needed, and more must be done to enable and fund aid operations.
