OCHA reports that humanitarian teams across the Gaza Strip and in the region continue responding to people’s needs, despite significant restrictions and impediments.

As part of these efforts, the UN and its partners offload more essential supplies at crossings around Gaza every day. On Monday, out of nearly 4,000 pallets of aid offloaded at the crossings, about 65 per cent contained food supplies; 12 per cent carried shelter items; another 12 per cent were water, sanitation and hygiene items; and 7 per cent comprised health and nutrition supplies. Two thirds of the supplies were offloaded at the Kerem Shalom crossing in the south, and the remaining third at the Zikim crossing in the north. This data excludes bilateral donations and the commercial sector.

Yesterday, out of five attempts by the UN to coordinate humanitarian movements with Israeli authorities inside Gaza, three were facilitated, one was initially approved but never received clearance to proceed, and another was cancelled by the organizers. As a result, teams could redeploy staff and carry out some of the planned collection of food and health supplies from Kerem Shalom crossing, alongside other missions in areas where coordination with the Israeli authorities was not required.

Meanwhile, partners leading on education say that on Monday, one partner distributed more than 2,000 winterization kits to vulnerable children aged 12 to 14. On the same day, education partners??and distributed 58 specialized tents across 16 learning centres throughout the Strip to expand classroom space. This additional infrastructure is expected to accommodate nearly 25,000 children for in-person learning.

Partners leading on mine action continue inspecting key areas for potential explosive hazards. On Monday, two such assessments to support the removal of rubble were carried out in Deir al Balah and Gaza city.
