OCHA reports that the UN and humanitarian partners continue daily collections of humanitarian cargo from Kerem Shalom, which remains the only operational crossing for supplies into the Gaza Strip. Yesterday, teams brought in food, hygiene kits and latrine parts.

Last week, health partners provided nearly 240,000 medical consultations across 194 service points in Gaza. Acute respiratory illnesses and skin diseases remain the most frequently reported conditions, followed by acute watery diarrhoea.

Partners warn that health service delivery continues to be constrained by shortages or high costs of fuel, generator oil, spare parts, and medical supplies.

Emergency shelter assistance continues where feasible. Last week, partners supported over 4,000 households with shelter items through in‑kind and cash aid. This included tarpaulins, bedding, and tents. Partners also upgraded over 400 makeshift shelters and repaired more than 300 damaged homes.

Shelter partners warn that fewer families are now receiving their support compared with previous months. That’s due to severe shortages in shelter materials, linked to import restrictions, limited access to some areas, funding gaps and other challenges.

Moving to the West Bank, OCHA warns that ongoing Israeli demolitions of Palestinian-owned structures and settler attacks in multiple areas are pushing Palestinians and communities to leave their current locations.
