UN OCHA Gaza Situation Report No. 60 – 9 January 2026

Airstrikes, shelling and gunfire continued to be reported across the Gaza Strip between 6 and 8 January with multiple civilian casualties reported.

Following a reported rocket launch from Gaza City towards Israel, which fell short inside the Strip on the morning of 8 January, the Israeli military announced in a statement that they would conduct strikes on the launch site and related infrastructure.

Winter storms and consequent flooding on 30 December and on 9 January exposed families to cold temperatures and contaminated floodwaters. Shelter supplies remain insufficient to meet the immense needs further exacerbated by the recent rains; an estimated one million people across Gaza still urgently require emergency shelter assistance. Aid organisations have repeatedly stressed the need to shift from temporary tents to more durable shelter solutions, including repairs to damaged houses, as winter conditions intensify. Since the ceasefire, at least five children have died from exposure to the elements, amid widespread destruction of homes and critical civilian infrastructure On 27 December, a seven-year-old child reportedly drowned when an improvised displacement site flooded in the north-west of Gaza City, illustrating the extreme risks for children.
