OCHA reports that the UN and its partners continue to deliver aid across the Gaza Strip, where conditions remain dire. Needs far outpace the humanitarian community’s ability to respond, given persistent impediments.

These obstacles include insecurity, customs clearance challenges, delays and denials of cargo at the crossings, and limited routes available for transporting humanitarian supplies within Gaza. Such constraints are especially challenging to the UN and its partners’ efforts to bring in sufficient shelter, water, sanitation and hygiene items, as well as education supplies.

Colder weather is increasing already immense needs for shelter and winterization materials. Partners leading on child protection support have distributed winter clothes to over 217,000 children across the Strip since October.

In the ongoing effort to restore access to healthcare, 30 partner organizations are now??services in northern Gaza, nearly double the number prior to the ceasefire. Plans are underway to add more health service points in North Gaza governorate, given the lack of accessible facilities there and repeated denials for the UN and its partners to access Kamal Adwan Hospital. Across the Strip, the number of routine vaccination sites has risen from 22 before the ceasefire to 33.

Meanwhile, partners leading efforts to improve access to water and sanitation report that work continues to repair and restore water and sanitation networks. Eleven teams are currently deployed across flood-prone areas to empty storm drains and reduce the risk of flooding.

The UN and its partners also continue to get food assistance to people in need. Since the beginning of the month, partners managed to reach an additional 100,000 people with regular food assistance, which consists of one 25-kilogram bag of wheat flour and two rations containing basic food staples.

Humanitarian partners working on improving access to education reported that as of last Thursday, 65 classrooms have been fully rehabilitated across Gaza, with repairs of another 18 classrooms nearing completion. Additional repairs are planned to enable children to restart their education after more than two years.

Meanwhile, OCHA warns that access and movement constraints within Gaza remain a serious issue. Between 13 October and 4 December, 295 contractors, 28 UN staff and 21 healthcare personnel were denied by the Israeli authorities from taking part in UN missions within Gaza – an average of nearly seven people each day.

These denials disrupt humanitarian planning and force the UN and its partners to make last-minute adjustments that can reduce their capacity or lead to missions being canceled altogether if substitute personnel cannot be identified.

OCHA continues to call for impediments to be lifted so that the UN and its partners can scale up assistance faster and reach all those in need.

West Bank: Israeli police, municipal officials forcibly enter UNRWA compound in East Jerusalem

In the West Bank, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) reported that this morning, Israeli police and municipal officials forcibly entered the agency’s compound in East Jerusalem.

Telecommunications inside the compound were cut and assets were seized, including furniture, IT equipment and other UNRWA property. The UN flag was also pulled down and replaced with an Israeli flag. Earlier this year, UNRWA staff were forced to vacate the compound following the legislation passed by the Israeli parliament banning the agency from operating.
