UN OCHA Gaza Situation Report No. 69 – 27 February 2026
A total of 260 out of 619 health service points (42 per cent) across the Gaza Strip are functioning, 90 per cent of them partially. All hospitals in Gaza remain fully dependent on back-up generators, with delays in the entry of related spare parts, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, transformers and critical electrical components impacting Intensive Care Unit, dialysis, operating theatre and laboratory functionality.
Between 20 and 25 February, airstrikes, shelling and gunfire continued across the Gaza Strip, reportedly resulting in civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure. According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza (MoH), seven Palestinians were killed, and 33 others injured during this period, bringing the total casualty toll reported by MoH since the ceasefire came into effect on 10 October 2025 to 618 killed and 1,663 injured.
Drinking water availability in Gaza city remains severely restricted and well below WASH emergency standards of 6 litres per person per day for thousands of vulnerable families. The principal water supply line, Mekorot north, has been damaged since middle of January, though several repair interventions have taken place, by both Palestinian and Mekorot contractors, there are still issues and currently the control valve is turned off. The next largest fresh water supply for Gaza city, the Safa Well Field, remains non-operational and WASH actors are requesting access to repair. In the meantime, WASH agencies have increased water trucking from private desalination sources and increased production from groundwater wells, but this does still not meet the needs. Read more . . .
