Gaza Strip
Attacks: There are no safe places for the militarily-dominated population in Gaza, who find themselves subjected to airstrikes and other missile attacks on buildings, homes and many essentialfacilities, as well as constant gunfire and invasions by Israeli forces. The Israeli Navy continues to fire missiles, targeting facilities and buildings along the entire Gaza shoreline.
Victims: 41 more people killed in Gaza now brings the total number of deaths, since 7 October, to at least 39,258. With another 103 wounded, that figure has risen to more than 90,589. The daily average of men, women and children killed in Gaza is at least 133 and, of those injured, the daily average is over 308.

New Map of the Gaza Strip
Dear Partners,
Today, we are releasing an updated poster-size map of the Gaza Strip, focusing on movement and access.
Since the release of the previous poster-size map in September 2023, the Gaza Strip has undergone dramatic changes due to the war that began in October 2023. Key changes include:
-
Division between north and south regions.
-
Expansion of the no-go and high-risk buffer zone along the Israel’s perimeter fence from 100 to 1,000 metres.
-
Destruction or damage to over 100,000 buildings.
-
Displacement of 90 per cent of the population, with many experiencing repeated displacements.
-
Recurrent emergence and disappearance of displacement sites due to evacuation orders and hostilities.
-
A 16-year blockade turned into a complete siege, followed by the allowance of certain incoming commodities, though the conditions to collect or distribute them are not always present.
-
Ban on travel to the West Bank, including for cancer patients and others who were previously among the exceptional categories allowed to apply for exit permits.
-
Closure of the permissible fishing area.
-
Introduction of new entry points for approved supplies coming through Israel and closure of the Rafah crossing.
The new map includes detailed information on communities within the Gaza Strip, crossing points, no-go and risk zones, sailing restrictions, the Egyptian border, and internal checkpoints. It also features UN compounds, universities, roads, bridges, hospitals, hotels, and wastewater treatment plants; many of which have been damaged in hostilities. Additionally, inset maps and info-graphics provide an overview of damage assessments, satellite-observed displacement sites, constraints limiting the access of humanitarian supplies and missions, and the changing volumes of commodities and people moving in and out over the years.
As you can imagine, a static map will never be able to capture the volatility of the situation on the ground, hence the printed map might reflect outdated or dynamic realities. We are happy to offer poster-size printouts to those able to visit any of our offices across the Occupied Palestinian Territory. For partners unable to visit our offices, we encourage to use the linked digital version.
We hope you find this useful.
Best regards,
The OCHA OPT Team

Everyday we hear horror stories from the Gaza strip (concentration camp). 70% of residential buildings are now destroyed, friends of ours that have been forced to move 7, 8 or 9 times to places that are then bombed again. Children burned or mutilated. Tens of thousands of women and children murdered with Western Support. The situation here in the occupied West Bank has been horrible before 7 October but the level of horror amplified tenfold since. This increase in rate of home demolitions, land confiscation, killing of Palestinians, military and settler pogroms against our people, closing off of 12 ghettos/concentration camps created to store the unwanted indigenous people. All Palestinians are targets whether they miraculously remained in Palestine or are in-exile diaspora. The Zionist movement is taking desperate measures to liquidate even the hope of liberation. Even the delusional hope of a two state “solution” is obliterated with laws and with increased colonial settlements: There are two times more colonial settlers per square kilometre here in the West Bank than inside the Green Line.
