OCHA\u00a0warns that\u00a0the humanitarian crisis\u00a0remains\u00a0dire, despite the efforts of the UN and its partners.<\/p>\n
Over the past week, humanitarian partners provided emergency shelter support \u2013 including tents, tarpaulins, kitchen supplies, mattresses, blankets and clothes \u2013 to some 12,000 families.<\/p>\n
But partners stress that more durable solutions \u2013 including repairing people\u2019s homes \u2013 are imperative. This requires faster approvals for critical materials \u2013 such as timber and cement \u2013 which remain heavily restricted.<\/p>\n
On health, emergency teams held more than 11,000 medical consultations this week, alongside ongoing trauma and limb reconstruction care. They warn, however, that disruptions in the rotations of international staff in and out of Gaza are significantly reducing their operational capacity and continuity of care. Since the beginning of the regional escalation, these rotations have become inconsistent and limited to once weekly.<\/p>\n
OCHA continues to call for the remaining impediments to be removed, including reopening of more crossings and allowing the entry of diverse critical supplies, to enable a faster scale up of the humanitarian response to ensure progress made to date is not reversed.<\/p>\n
In the West Bank, OCHA has warned that violence by Israeli forces and settlers continues to result in Palestinian casualties and fuel further displacement. Just this morning, Israeli forces and groups of settlers raided the Batn al Hawa area in East Jerusalem and began forcible evictions of Palestinian families from residential buildings. Evicted families were forced into the streets and their belongings and homes were taken over by the settlers.<\/p>\n
OCHA\u00a0reports<\/a><\/em> that overall in East Jerusalem, displacement risks remain high, with hundreds of Palestinian families facing imminent eviction due to ongoing eviction cases, amid an increasingly coercive environment. OCHA reiterates that Palestinians in the West Bank must be protected, as required by international humanitarian law, and perpetrators of violations must be held accountable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 25 March 2026 OCHA\u00a0warns that\u00a0the humanitarian crisis\u00a0remains\u00a0dire, despite the efforts of the UN and its partners.
