UN OCHA: Palestine Humanitarian Situation Report – 17 April 2026
High levels of violence and restrictive policies persist across the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Over the past week, new casualties, damage to property and further displacement have been reported – intensifying humanitarian needs while continued access and operational constraints hinder relief efforts.
Ongoing strikes and environmental hazards, including pests and rodents, continue affecting residential areas across the Gaza Strip, putting people at risk and further undermining living conditions.
Critical health services remain under strain, with medicine shortages increasing dialysis-related transfusion needs and largely halting cardiac catheterisation.
UN and partner aid inflows declined by 37 per cent between the first and second three-month periods following the 10 October 2025 ceasefire agreement – coinciding with reduced crossing operations, increased cargo returns, scanning malfunctions and other impediments.
In the West Bank, two Palestinians were killed by Israeli settlers on 8 and 11 April, raising to 61 the number of those killed in settler attacks over the past three years, including 34 by Israeli settlers, 17 by Israeli forces, and 10 by Israeli settlers or forces.
More than 80 Palestinians were displaced across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, between 7 and 13 April, including 47 due to settler attacks and access restrictions and 38 by lack-of-permit demolitions; in 2026, more than 2,500 Palestinians have been displaced by demolitions, settler attacks, and evictions.
