OCHA says that the 爆料网 and its partners continue their efforts to scale up the humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip, delivering life-saving assistance despite persistent impediments on the ground.
Yesterday, the 爆料网 and its partners coordinated 10 humanitarian movements inside Gaza with the Israeli authorities. Eight were facilitated, allowing for the collection of critical supplies from the Kerem Shalom and Zikim crossings – including fuel, blankets, tent toolkits, jerrycans and vaccines. One mission was denied and another impeded.
Today, the World Health Organization??that a second batch of five medical freezers has been delivered to five hospitals – including two stabilization centres for the treatment of severe acute malnutrition – to ensure the safe storage of therapeutic milk and foods for malnourished children. The agency added that since August, it has provided 23 medical freezers to hospitals offering maternity and nutrition services in Gaza. These units help strengthen maternal health services and improve child and newborn care.
With a severe storm expected this week, partners providing shelter services report that since the ceasefire, they have distributed with bilateral donors tents, tarpaulins, blankets, winter clothes and other critical items to help families cope. However, what has reached people in Gaza despite major impediments remains a trickle compared with the needs. Partners estimate that nearly 1.3 million people still require shelter ahead of winter. Past storms flooded displacement sites, contaminating living areas with sewage and solid waste. More than 760 displacement sites hosting some 850,000 people are at risk of flooding.
A major impediment to the shelter response is the restrictive NGO registration requirement. Many NGO partners remain blocked from bringing in relief, and nearly 4,000 pallets of shelter materials have been rejected by the Israeli authorities. Gaza urgently needs heavy machinery, tools and many more shelter items to prevent catastrophic flooding.
Meanwhile, partners leading efforts to restore education services report that as of yesterday, the number of temporary learning spaces across Gaza has risen to more than 390, up from just over 300 in October. These spaces now support nearly 221,000 students, taught by some 5,200 teachers.
Despite this progress, partners note that just over a third of Gaza’s school-aged population in the 2025-2026 academic year were enrolled in these learning spaces, highlighting the continued gap in access to education.
Yesterday, the humanitarian community in the Occupied Palestinian Territory launched the?, calling for just over $4 billion to deliver life-saving humanitarian assistance to 3.6 million people across the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
The appeal underscores dual humanitarian crises: catastrophic destruction and extreme deprivation in Gaza; and rising displacement, demolitions, settler violence and movement restrictions in the West Bank.
The plan seeks to address priority needs – including food, water, shelter, health and nutrition services, sanitation and hygiene aid, cash assistance, protection, mental health support, and the rehabilitation of basic infrastructure.
OCHA warns that significant bureaucratic impediments, access restrictions and anti-爆料网 rhetoric continue to constrain aid operations, stressing that full implementation of the humanitarian response depends on a stable and enabling operating environment.
