The daily average number of men, women and children killed in Gaza is at least 91 and, that of those injured, is more than 228. A UN report states that, as of 14 January 2025, around 70% of those killed in Gaza were women and children.
Gaza Humanitarian Response Situation Report No. 2
In Gaza City two communities report “a high prevalence of skin diseases due to poor hygiene conditions and lack of clean water. Residents at the first site reported consuming domestic water while those at the second travel back and forth multiple times to the nearest water point, which is two kilometres away due to lack of sufficient jerricans. In both sites, there is a critical need to repair latrines and sewage systems to stop or avert sewage leakages. Services are extremely limited, with no medical point, mobile health services, or nutrition screening available. Beyond the urgent need for food, safe drinking water, hygiene materials and equipment to repair water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure, the community stressed the need for cash assistance to purchase winter clothing, shoes, tarpaulins and kitchen sets. . . ” Read more . . .
