December 29, 2025 Humanitarian aid
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported on Monday that humanitarian organizations in Gaza are operating under emergency status. Torrential rains, which have continued for several days, are causing the collapse of war-damaged buildings, flooding tents, and destroying the personal belongings of people living in already dire conditions.
Over the past 24 hours, adverse weather has claimed new lives, and public health risks are also growing. Children remain particularly vulnerable: cases of hypothermia have been reported among infants, as well as infectious diseases associated with overflowing sewer systems.
Emergency measures and assistance coordination
A special system has been established to rapidly respond to the floods, bringing together UN agencies and non-governmental organizations. Humanitarian teams are distributing tents, warm clothing, blankets, and essential relief kits throughout the Gaza Strip. UN humanitarian partners are deploying heavy equipment to pump out sewage that is inundating residential areas.
Despite the challenging conditions, other assistance programs outlined by the UN humanitarian plan continue to be implemented. From December 23 to 26, organizations responsible for water, sanitation, and hygiene distributed tens of thousands of hygiene kits, soap, and shampoo to approximately 150,000 people in need.
As of last Sunday, humanitarian organizations were able to provide food aid to more than a million people – half of the Strip’s population.
