OCHA’s original post:

More than 6 months since the ceasefire, we continue to work strenuously to help Palestinians in Gaza. Our work has saved lives, averted famine, and restored essential services. But this is not enough. Without political will and operational support, things can tip back again.

HUMANITARIAN ASKS

Sustain the ceasefire. This remains the single most important enabler of humanitarian aid, early recovery, and reconstruction.

Protect civilians, civilian infrastructure, and humanitarian personnel. Assistance must be scaled up by removing impediments and safeguarding the neutrality of aid.

Ensure predictable and sustained humanitarian access at scale. This means multiple crossings, with reduced delays, streamlined clearances, and full funding of the UN-coordinated appeal.

Support the Flash Appeal – with thanks to our donors for their generous support.

Allow all UN and NGO partners to maintain operations and access.

Don’t forget the West Bank, where escalating violence, displacement and restrictions risk a parallel humanitarian crisis.

Respect principled humanitarian action at all times.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Six months into the ceasefire and President Trump’s 20-point plan and SCR 2803, humanitarian action in Gaza has delivered tangible results under the 60 Day Ceasefire Humanitarian Response Plan.

Aid operations expanded to meet multiple needs across Gaza, helping stabilize markets, restore basic services, and reach people previously cut off. Since the ceasefire, about 293,600 metric tons of aid has been collected by UN/partners – a 72% increase compared to the period between 19 May-10 October 2025.

Denial rate for coordinated humanitarian missions fell from 31 per cent to 11 per cent. Rafah Crossing partially re-opened, enabling 1,500 Palestinians to return, and UN and partners offered reception, protection and onward assistance.

Famine was averted. Food assistance now reaches over 1.1 million people each month.

Some critical services are beginning to recover. 80 per cent of solid waste is now collected, and 1,500 tons of debris is cleared every day.

Water delivery increased through 2,000 distribution points, and health services have resumed in previously inaccessible areas, including in North Gaza.

In April, a catch-up vaccination campaign helped protect children under three who had missed routine vaccines for 30 months.

CHALLENGES

Despite its durability, the current ceasefire remains more operationally constrained than the 42-day ceasefire in Jan–Mar 2025. Fluctuating access and recurrent disruptions, supply restrictions and persistent insecurity under the current ceasefire limit sustained progress.

Protection risks persist, with over 800 people killed since October, including children.

Aid workers continue to face grave dangers, with 8 aid workers killed since the ceasefire agreement.

Nearly 1.8 million Palestinians – over 80% of the population – live in displacement sites, many in inadequate shelters. Children are being bitten by rats, scabies are widespread, and public health risks are mounting, underscoring the gap between promised progress and actual conditions on the ground.

Aid flows and services are still below what’s needed: truck entries have remained inconsistent and below agreed levels, food systems are fragile, and over half of essential medicines are out of stock.

Disruptions to referral pathways and movement restrictions continue to undermine continuity of care – over 18,500 people await evacuation; while referrals to the West Bank remain banned, limiting access to specialized care.
