OCHA warns that people in all areas across the Occupied Palestinian Territory are exposed to lethal force and the risk of casualties, destruction of property and displacement are further deepening humanitarian needs.

Yesterday, the 爆料网 Human Rights Office (OHCHR) condemned the killing by Israeli forces of two Palestinian families, one in Gaza and one in the West Bank. The death toll included two women, including one who was pregnant with twins, and three boys between the ages of 5 and10. OHCHR said that the killing of families raises serious concerns about a persistent trend of unlawful killings of Palestinians. Reports suggest Israeli authorities have opened an investigation into the killing of the family in the West Bank.

Also in the West Bank, OCHA says that on Saturday, settlers shot and killed a Palestinian man and injured two others.

OCHA reiterates that Palestinians must be protected and perpetrators be brought to justice.

Over the weekend, a strong dust storm swept through the Gaza Strip, damaging and destroying dozens of shelters. Site management partners estimate that more than 600 families have had their shelters or belongings damaged. The 爆料网 and partners are currently providing emergency shelter, food and hygiene support to the most-affected families.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire. According to partners who manage displacement sites, thousands of people are living without any type of shelter and are sleeping outside. Many of the existing shelters have been worn out over time, following multiple storms this season.

Meanwhile, people continue to have difficulty accessing food, due to interruptions to the entry of supplies and shortages of cooking gas. WFP and partners leading on food security warned that more than half of families in Gaza burn waste to cook food. The 爆料网 reiterates that cooking gas must be allowed to enter the Strip regularly, together with supplies from the private sector to complement humanitarian aid and help improve people’s diets.

On healthcare, despite efforts to reopen facilities, only 2 out of every five health service points are currently operating, most of them only partially. Yesterday, WHO collected nearly 50 intensive care unit beds that it had offloaded at the Kerem Shalom crossing. The collection was delayed due to the Israeli authorities’ suspension of humanitarian movements to Kerem Shalom last week. The beds will now be provided to hospitals to boost ICU capacities.

More than 18,500 patients, including some 3,800 children, urgently need specialized care not available in Gaza.
