OCHA Gaza Humanitarian Response
Gaza Strip Update #326
In southern Gaza conditions are alarming, the Shelter Cluster reports, with families squeezed into makeshift tents along the beach, packed into overcrowded schools or sleeping in the open and amid rubble, and services are stretched beyond capacity.
In a speech at a UN General Assembly High-Level event on 24 September, Tom Fletcher, the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, highlighted the catastrophic situation of children in Gaza: “They’ve been bombed, maimed, starved, burned alive, buried in the rubble of their homes, separated from their parents. Denied every ounce of humanity that the rules of war were designed to preserve. Killed while sleeping, playing, queuing for food and water, seeking medical care.” He called for the immediate implementation of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) provisional measures requiring Israel to enable the provision of urgently- needed basic services and humanitarian assistance. He spoke about children in Israel who were killed or taken hostage on 7 October 2023 and called for the release of those still in captivity.
A UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) statement included a call for the Israeli military to “immediately end the killing of Palestinian civilians and the wanton destruction of Gaza city, which appears to be focused on causing a permanent demographic shift, which is tantamount to ethnic cleansing.”

In sovereign Israel, Saturday 27th September, 2025.
Pro-Palestinians are never able to answer questions about the conflict clearly. Some mutter about “occupation,” others try to sound smart and say “colonialism,” and then it gets really awkward when you hit them with the facts:
There never was a country called Palestine.
Jews are indigenous to the land. Arabs are not.
The land was offered to the Arabs over and over again, and every time, they chose war.
Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005. No soldiers. No settlers. What did they get in return? Hamas. Rockets (over 37,000). Massacres.
Truth will out.
