Overview
- UN OCHA reports more than 165,000 metric tonnes of aid have entered Gaza since the truce, with over 1.3 million food packages and 1.5 million hot meals delivered.
- Severe winter storms have torn apart makeshift shelters, leaving over 3,000 people exposed, placing 800,000 in flood‑prone areas, and contributing to seven child hypothermia deaths.
- More than one million people still urgently need durable shelter solutions, as responders distribute tents, tarpaulins, warm clothes and other essentials to flood‑affected families.
- Education services show partial recovery with over 440 temporary learning spaces serving roughly 270,000 students, but key school supplies remain barred from entry.
- Operational limits persist, with less than 40% of health facilities functioning and delays at crossings compounded by a December regulation banning 37 NGOs, which UN experts say has blocked nearly $50 million in aid.
