UN: Gaza Humanitarian Response Situation Report No. 57 30 December 2025
Over the past 24 hours, weather conditions across the Gaza Strip have led to further casualties and increased health risks, including hypothermia among babies and illnesses linked to overflowing sewage. The UN and its humanitarian partners continue to respond to flood alerts from affected families, distributing tents, tarpaulins, warm clothes, blankets and dignity kits across Gaza. They also continue to mobilise heavy equipment to pump overflowing sewage away from flooded residential areas.
