Humanitarian Situation Update #257

Gaza Strip

Key Highlights

• A ceasefire came into effect in Gaza at 11:15 on 19 January 2025. Aid organisations from the UN and beyond immediately began dispatching critically needed goods and scaling up response efforts across the Gaza Strip

• A surge of supplies has entered Gaza since the beginning of the ceasefire, enabling an increase in the humanitarian response to critical needs. Distributions have increased, repairs to critical infrastructure have begun and fuel has been distributed.

• Debris management, retrieval of bodies, and addressing explosive ordnance contamination in Gaza remain critical to enable safe population movements, the further scale up of humanitarian aid and reinstatement of essential services.

• The Protection Cluster underlines the traumatic pattern of child and forced family separation in Gaza and the need for continued tracing of unaccompanied or separated children and unifying them with their families.
