December 22, 2025 Humanitarian aid

Despite the declared ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, humanitarian organizations continue to receive reports of airstrikes, shelling, and gunfire. According to the UN, over the past 24 hours, the violence has resulted in new casualties and disrupted humanitarian operations. Nevertheless, aid continues to reach the most vulnerable families despite these threats and the cold and rainy winter weather.

Due to a severe shortage of shelter, many people are forced to live in partially or heavily damaged buildings. Several buildings recently collapsed due to the storm, causing injuries. Three-quarters of female-headed households urgently need housing, and two-thirds need warm clothing.

UN partners continue to work to expand access to decent housing for approximately 1.3 million people in Gaza. Over the past week, approximately 3,500 families affected by storms or living in flooded areas received tents, bedding, mattresses, and blankets. More than 250,000 children have already received winter clothing, but approximately 630,000 adolescents still need it.

The UN reiterates its call for the lifting of all restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, including construction materials, as such restrictions seriously hamper the work of humanitarian services.

Humanitarian organizations continue to coordinate missions inside Gaza. On Sunday, Israeli authorities approved half of their requests.
