December 1, 2025 Humanitarian aid
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reports that the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire, despite ongoing aid operations across the Strip.
Last Sunday, the UN Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Ramiz Alakbarov, concluded a four-day visit to Gaza, where he met with UN colleagues, visited humanitarian project sites, and spoke with people struggling to survive in dire conditions as winter approaches.
Alakbarov stressed the importance of unimpeded access to the sector for humanitarian cargo and the need for UN non-governmental organization partners to be able to provide assistance to those in need throughout Gaza.
Healthcare
UN partners responsible for providing medical care to Gaza residents continue to restore services across the Strip: 234 medical facilities are now operational, compared to 197 before the ceasefire. However, shortages of critical medical supplies remain in the enclave.
Housing and education
Shelter needs in Gaza remain dire, with approximately 1.5 million people in need of urgent assistance. Last week, humanitarian workers distributed tents, tarpaulins, bedding, kitchen sets, and winter clothing vouchers to approximately 4,300 families.
Eighteen of the 31 temporary learning spaces in the sector have reopened, allowing approximately eight thousand children to resume education.
A record 160 heavy-duty tents for schools were delivered to Gaza over the weekend, but stationery and other teaching materials remain in short supply.
Since the ceasefire, 123,000 families in Gaza have received cash assistance, exceeding the 120,000 target set for the 60-day plan.
