Overview

• UN OCHA says Israel authorized 190,000 tonnes of relief for Gaza, an increase of 20,000 tonnes over the prior agreement.
• Initial consignments include food, shelter materials, medicines, tents, frozen meat, fresh fruit, flour and cooking gas, the first such fuel allowed since March.
• The UN and ICRC report that not all border crossings are open and urge urgent reopening and repairs to enable sustained flows.
• Humanitarian agencies report 190,000 tonnes staged in the region, largely in Jordan and Egypt, with onward distribution contingent on access, logistics and security.
• Relief scale-up follows a ceasefire and the reported release of all living hostages, with agencies also tracking nearly 310,000 south-to-north movements and launching a plan covering food for 2.1 million, WASH for 1.4 million, cash for 200,000 families and psychosocial support for youth.
