Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza
More than 470,000 movements by civilians heading north inside the Gaza Strip have been recorded since the ceasefire began, according to the UN aid coordination office (OCHA).
Many families are returning to shattered neighbourhoods where unstable buildings and unexploded ordnance pose deadly risks.
“Water, food and essential services are still desperately needed,”OCHA said, as humanitarian partners race to meet soaring demand amid widespread destruction.
- Aid continues to enter Gaza, with over 300 truckloads of supplies collected from the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom crossing between Friday and Saturday.
- The cargo included thousands of pallets of wheat flour, canned food, rice and supplies for hot meals, alongside medical equipment, tents, tarpaulins and winter clothing.
Hygiene kits, post-partum kits and shelter materials also entered the Strip, according to the UN.
