1 December 2025
More than 230,000
families – that’s around 1.15 million people –
received monthly food parcels between 1 and 27 November,
through 59 distribution points, including 21 in northern
Gaza.
Shelter partners distributed over 8,800 blankets
and more than 300 tents, with additional tarpaulins and
mattresses arriving this week.
Flood
risk
Site management teams warn that flooding
remains a major risk. Sandbags have been deployed to 41
displacement sites, while cash-for-work teams have been
reinforcing drainage and collect empty flour sacks to
improve insulation.
On Friday, UN-coordinated aid
entering Gaza included dignity kits, menstrual
health items, medical supplies and adolescent kits
– though road damage and limited transport continue to
restrict access, especially in the north.
Protection
partners say gender-based violence services
reached 671 women and girls in one day last week, with new
tents allowing safe spaces to reopen after flood
damage.
Briefing reporters in New York on Monday, UN
Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said humanitarian conditions
remain extremely dire even as aid operations
continue.
Humanitarian Coordinator for the Occupied
Palestinian Territory, Ramiz Alakbarov, has just finished a
fact-finding mission to Gaza, stressing the importance of
unfettered humanitarian access.
“Meanwhile, our
partners leading the health response report that they
continue to restore services across the Strip – with
234 health service points now operational, compared
to 197 before the ceasefire,” Mr. Dujarric
added.

Shelter needs
Shelter
needs are still high, with some 1.5 million people
in need of urgent support.
Over the weekend,
160 high-performance tents arrived in Gaza for learning
activities – the biggest influx so far. However,
stationary and other school supplies are still not being
allowed into Gaza, Mr. Dujarric warned, hampering efforts to
scale up the response.
Around 123,000 families have
received cash assistance since the fragile truce began –
exceeding the target of 120,000 under the 60-day ceasefire
plan.
