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: 28 more people have been killed within the past 48 hours, bringing the total number killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023 to at least 45,581. Another 59 have been wounded, bringing that total to 108,438. The daily average number of men, women and children killed in Gaza is at least 100 and that of those injured is now more than 238.

Humanitarian Situation Update #252

Gaza Strip

Key Highlights

• Between 24 and 30 December, eleven Palestinians, including two women and two children, were killed by Israeli forces. Ten of these fatalities occurred within 48 hours between 24 and 25 December in the northern West Bank, with eight killed in airstrikes by Israeli forces.

• Since the beginning of the operation by Palestinian forces in Jenin refugee camp on 5 December, nine Palestinians were killed, including two children, one woman and three members of Palestinian forces. For the past 26 days, access to basic services, including education, water and health, has been severely disrupted.

• At least 21 Palestinian households, comprising 94 people remain displaced following a two-day operation by Israeli forces in Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps, which resulted in damage to about 1,050 housing units.

• The year 2024 has recorded the highest numbers in nearly two decades since OCHA began documents such incidents, with approximately 4,250 Palestinians displaced 1,760 structures destroyed, and about 1,400 incidents involving Israeli settlers across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

• Since 7 October 2023, Israeli forces have intensified movement restrictions in the Israeli-controlled area of Hebron city (H2), including the recent installation of a barbed wire barrier in one of the neighbourhoods. This has further disrupted access to livelihoods, essential services, and education for thousands of Palestinians.

Humanitarian Developments (24-30 December)

• During the reporting period, Israeli forces killed eleven Palestinians, including two children and two women, and injured 49 others, including 19 children and four women, across the West Bank. In Israel, a Palestinian from the West Bank stabbed and killed an Israeli woman. Five Palestinians, including a female journalist and three members of the Palestinian forces, were killed in Jenin refugee camp within the context of the ongoing operation by Palestinian forces.

Intra-Palestinian clashes involving Palestinian forces

• Since 5 December, Palestinian forces (PA) have been carrying out an operation in Jenin refugee camp, exchanging fire with armed Palestinians (Palestinian Resistance), and closing off the camp’s entrances. Nine Palestinians have been killed, including two children. Among the fatalities, three were caused by Palestinian forces and one by either armed Palestinians or Palestinian forces. Three members of Palestinian forces were killed, including two while dismantling an IED and one by armed Palestinians. UNRWA has suspended its services in the camp for 19 days including at four schools serving about 1,700 students. On 20 December, UNRWA called for respect for the inviolability of its facilities, protected under international law, after becoming aware that armed Palestinians were occupying its health centre in the camp. UNRWA later confirmed that the health centre was vacated by armed Palestinians on 31 December after 12 days. About 12,000 residents in the camp have had limited access to water and electricity. The rehabilitation of water networks, which were significantly damaged by previous Israeli military operations, remains on hold, affecting over 60 per cent of the camp’s population. On 30 December, parts of the electricity network were repaired. However, several generators have reportedly been damaged, causing intermittent electricity and communication outages in multiple neighbourhoods inside the camp.
