In the\u00a0Occupied Palestinian Territory, OCHA says that aid workers\u2019 ability to support people in Gaza remains heavily constrained.<\/p>\n
For example, only half of the aid trucks coming from Egypt can offload at the Kerem Shalom crossing, which is controlled by the Israeli authorities. This is based on data recorded by humanitarian logistics partners for the first 18 days of May and does not cover bilateral donations or commercial imports.<\/p>\n
When trucks are sent back to their point of origin,\u00a0fewer supplies go in, and\u00a0time and money are\u00a0lost.<\/p>\n
On food production, in a\u00a0social media post\u00a0yesterday, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)\u00a0reported<\/a> that the number of small livestock in Gaza has increased for the first time since October 2023.<\/p>\n Since November of 2025, the number of sheep increased by 33 per cent and the number of goats increased by 8 per cent. While the numbers are still far below previous levels \u2013 between a quarter and a third of the small livestock population before October 2023 \u2013 the latest increase reflects the positive impact of emergency agricultural assistance provided by FAO and its partners.<\/p>\n Humanitarians have been providing\u00a0animal feed, veterinary kits and cash support\u00a0to help Palestinians restore and increase\u00a0local food production.\u00a0But for a full recovery of the\u00a0agricultural\u00a0sector, Israeli authorities need to\u00a0approve the entry of further\u00a0inputs and\u00a0equipment\u00a0by both the humanitarian and the private sectors.<\/p>\n In the West Bank, in the week between 12 and 18 May, OCHA documented more than 50 settler attacks that resulted in casualties or property damage. These included arson attacks that damaged a mosque, homes, farmland and vehicles.<\/p>\n OCHA reports that one of those attacks led to the displacement of 22 Palestinian families, nearly 140 people, from the village of Jiljiliya near Ramallah. These families had already been displaced due to settler violence in 2023.<\/p>\n Since the beginning of 2026,\u00a0there have been, on average, six settler attacks\u00a0per day,\u00a0resulting in\u00a0casualties or property damage.<\/p>\n Humanitarian partners are assisting those displaced or otherwise affected through shelter support, psychosocial services and other essential assistance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 22 May 2026 In the\u00a0Occupied Palestinian Territory, OCHA says that aid workers\u2019 ability to support people in Gaza remains heavily constrained.
