تُمحى #غزة أمام أعيننا. كل يوم جديد يجلب المجاعة وقصف المستشفيات ودفن العائلات تحت الأنقاض أو حرقها أحياءً. لا يوجد مكان آمن. تُستغل المساعدات كسلاح، مما يُجبر المدنيين الجائعين على الانتظار في طوابير للحصول على الفتات. آخر الأخبار من Jonathan Whittall رئيس مكتبنا في OCHA OPT (Palestine)

The humanitarian situation in #Gaza is spiraling. WFP has enough food to feed all 2.2M people for 2 months. A ceasefire is the only way to deliver it safely.

One of the new militarized distribution points in #Gaza has been established on the site where Israeli forces killed and buried 15 first responders in a mass grave in March; a grotesque symbol of how life, and that which sustains it, is being both erased and controlled in Gaza.

In #Gaza, food lines have become firing lines. This is the outcome of a series of deliberate choices that have deprived people of the essentials for survival. No one should have to risk their life to feed their children. Let us bring aid to where people are. Let us do our job.

Risks of forcible transfer in the #WestBank are rising. Herders report more intimidation and violence by Israeli settlers. Israeli forces have operated across the north, arresting people, destroying roads and disrupting access to services. Read more: ochaopt.org/content/humani…

Healthcare workers and hospitals should never be a target. Yet this is repeatedly the case in #Gaza – over 700 attacks to be exact.   Watch the scenes captured by OCHA team from Al Ahli hospital only hours after another strike leaves several people killed.⬇️

An Israeli forces airstrike on a family home in #Jabalya - northern #Gaza - killed a UN Development colleague, his wife, their six children and 36 members of his extended family. “UN staff and civilians in Gaza are not, and must never be, targets.”

In #Gaza, only 38% of health service points are still functioning - all partially. In some governorates, no hospitals remain up and running. As the health system collapses, survivors' lives are on the line. Health care must be protected. Humanitarians must be allowed to work.

In #Gaza the starving gather in militarized zones for food that might not arrive. Internet is down, info cut. People are shot or shelled by Israeli forces daily. Fuel is almost out. Dead & injured are hand carried to hospitals that are choked off by expanding displacement orders.

Another horrific mass casualty today here in #Gaza. Nasser hospital overwhelmed after Israeli forces shot at a crowd that had gathered waiting for food. It’s a chilling pattern. Repeatedly, survivors recount being attacked as they try to reach the aid that they need to survive

🚨 Fuel is running out in #Gaza, causing a collapse of critical lifelines, after 100+ days of full blockade. - hospitals are going dark - water is running dry - ambulances can’t move. There's no time to spare. Israeli authorities must urgently facilitate #FuelForGaza.

"These are conditions created to kill," says Jonathan Whittall briefing media on #Gaza. “What we are seeing is carnage. It is weaponized hunger. It is forced displacement. It’s a death sentence for people just trying to survive. It appears to be the erasure of Palestinian life.”

"لقد صُممت هذه الظروف لتفضي إلى القتل"، يقولJonathan Whittall في إحاطةٍ إعلاميةٍ حول #غزة. "ما نشهده هو مذبحة، إنه جوع يُستخدم كما لو كان سلاحًا، إنه تهجير قسري،إنه حكم بالإعدام بحق أناس يسعون للبقاء على قيد الحياة فحسب. يبدو أن هذه العوامل تشكّل عملية لمحو حياة الفلسطينيين من غزة"

“People are being killed simply trying to feed themselves and their families. The search for food must never be a death sentence. Let me be clear: Israel, as the occupying Power, is required by international law, to agree to and to facilitate humanitarian relief.” - Guterres

Attacks on tents, shelters and people trying to access food continue to be reported across #Gaza. Every third person has been displaced again over the past 3 months. And fuel is running out. Latest update: ochaopt.org/content/humani…

Fuel is running out. #Gaza's water crisis has reached critical levels. While humanitarian partners have implemented strict rationing measures, critical water services are at risk of closing if the entry of fuel is not urgently restored. #FuelForGaza ochaopt.org/content/humani…

In the first half of 2025, over 740 settler attacks impacted more than 200 Palestinian communities across the #WestBank. Today, one of them – Muarrajat East Community in #JordanValley – was entirely depopulated by settlers. Hear from those living through this violence. ⬇️
