Humanitarian Situation Update #288

Gaza Strip

Key Highlights

The blockade, new displacement orders, and ongoing bombardments (including on tents, hospitals and schools) continue to drive a growing number of casualties, displacement and extreme levels of deprivation across Gaza.

In a briefing to the Security Council on the humanitarian situation and the protection of aid workers in Gaza, the UN Relief Chief, Tom Fletcher, called for decisive action to prevent genocide in Gaza.

Strikes on the two main hospitals in Khan Yunis have further crippled an already decimated health–care system, triggering renewed calls for the protection of civilians, including medical personnel and medical facilities in line with international humanitarian law.

Three–quarters of the population in Gaza are projected to face emergency or catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity under a reasonable worst-case scenario of a protracted and large-scale military operation and continuation of the full blockade. Under this scenario, key indicators of food insecurity, acute malnutrition and mortality would surpass the IPC famine thresholds.

Humanitarian Situation Update #289

West Bank

14 May 2025

Key Highlights

Some 200 families are estimated to have gradually returned to the outskirts of the Jenin refugee camp, which remains depopulated, while demolitions and displacement continue in Tulkarem City and Nur Shams refugee camp. Some 40,000 Palestinians remain displaced in the northern West Bank.

More than 550 students were evacuated from their classrooms, as Israeli forces raided and shut down three UNRWA schools in East Jerusalem.

Across the West Bank, Israeli settlers have damaged water infrastructure on 62 occasions since January, with herding communities facing the most severe impacts.

A decision by the authorities to resume land registration risks further land expropriation in violation of Palestinian property rights, warns the UN Human Rights Office.
