UN: Humanitarian Situation – Gaza Strip Update #331 – 16 October 2025
Since 11 October 2023, 463 malnutrition-related deaths, including 157 children, were documented.
The United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) recently estimated, based on satellite imagery collected on 8 July 2025, that widespread destruction across the Gaza Strip has generated more than 61 million tons of debris. This is equivalent to about 169 kilogrammes of debris for every square metre. UNEP noted that field validation of these estimates is essential to inform the development of a comprehensive debris management plan for the Gaza Strip. The estimate does not include the impact of the most recent military operations in Gaza City in August and September 2025.
The widespread presence of explosive ordnance (EO) continues to pose life-threatening risks to people across Gaza. According to data from the Mine Action (MA) Area of Responsibility (AoR), since 7 October 2023, 147 EO-related incidents have been recorded, resulting in 324 fatalities, including 91 children. Based on trends observed during the 42-day ceasefire earlier this year, this figure is expected to increase further as people return to damaged buildings and previously inaccessible areas, MA partners report.

UN: Humanitarian Situation – West Bank Update #332 – 16 October 2025
Between 7 and 13 October, two Palestinian men were killed, one by Israeli forces and one by either Israeli forces or settlers. During the same period, 156 Palestinians, including 12 children and three women, were injured in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem: 111 by Israeli forces, 43 by Israeli settlers, and two by either Israeli forces or settlers. The following are details of the incidents that resulted in fatalities:
On 8 October, a 26-year-old Palestinian man was shot and killed, and two others were injured with live ammunition fired by Israeli forces and settlers during a daytime Israeli settler attack, in Deir Jarir village. The attack comes amid a marked rise in them since early 2025, following the construction of a new road connecting a nearby Israeli military base to Deir Jarir’s western entrance and the establishment of a nearby settlement outpost, near the Ofra settlement. Between January and 13 October 2025, OCHA has documented 12 settler attacks in Deir Jarir that resulted in Palestinian casualties or property damage – a threefold increase compared with the annual average of about four incidents recorded between 2020 and 2024. Settlers, believed to be from the new outpost, have repeatedly raided agricultural and residential areas in Deir Jarir, assaulted farmers and families working their land and caused extensive property damage, including vandalism of at least eight homes and 12 vehicles, damage to dozens of olive trees, agricultural equipment and livestock shelters, as well as theft of livestock. So far in 2025, these attacks have resulted in the killing of two Palestinians and the injury of 28 others, including four children and three women. Of the injured, 13 were by Israeli forces, ten by Israeli settlers, and five where it remains unknown if they were injured by Israeli forces or settlers.
