October 27, 2025 Humanitarian aid
Since the ceasefire began in the Gaza Strip, more than 470,000 civilian displacements to the northern part of the enclave have been recorded, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported on Monday. Many families are returning to devastated areas, where they are threatened by collapsing buildings and unexploded ordnance.
"Water, food and essential services remain in short supply," OCHA said, noting that humanitarian organizations are struggling to meet growing demand as quickly as possible amid widespread destruction.
Humanitarian aid deliveries
Humanitarian aid continues to arrive in Gaza: more than 300 trucks carrying humanitarian aid arrived at the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom crossing from Friday to Saturday. The supplies included flour, canned goods, rice, and ingredients for hot meals, as well as medical equipment, tents, tarps, and winter clothing.
According to the UN, hygiene kits, postnatal care kits, and shelter materials also arrived in the sector on Sunday. The UN Office for Project Services distributed approximately 329,000 liters of diesel fuel to support hospitals, communications, and food services.
Hot dishes and bread
Humanitarian partners, with the support of 170 community kitchens, have already provided over a million hot meals, primarily in southern and central Gaza. In Deir el-Balah, Khan Younis, and Gaza, 15 UN-supported bakeries produce bread daily, which is distributed free of charge to shelters and communities.
At the same time, efforts are underway to reduce the risk of unexploded ordnance as people begin to return to their homes. Over the weekend, nearly 3,200 residents of central and southern Gaza received safety training. Since October 2023, according to OCHA, there have been 150 incidents involving explosive ordnance, including those involving children.
Violence in the West Bank
Violence related to the olive harvest season, which began on October 9, continues in the occupied West Bank. More than 85 settler attacks on Palestinian farmers and their lands have disrupted the harvest. More than 110 people have been injured, and over 3,000 trees in 50 villages have been damaged. Seventeen attacks were recorded last week alone, primarily in the Ramallah area.
“Such incidents disrupt livelihoods and increase fear in farming communities,” OCHA noted.
Despite the arrival of aid, the UN warns that many Gazans are still deprived of basic necessities. Food, water, and shelter are in short supply, yet people are risking their lives to return home.
