The Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Tom Fletcher, yesterday?welcomed?Israel’s announcement of humanitarian pauses in?Gaza?and said in a statement that this decision supports the scale-up of aid, including food, medicine, and fuel, and would help lessen the tremendous suffering of the starving population. He added that vast amounts of aid are needed to stave off famine and a catastrophic health crisis.

蘑菇视频 agencies and our partners have also welcomed these measures. Yesterday, the World Food Program (WFP) said it has enough food in the region or en route to feed the starving population for about three months. 蘑菇视频RWA says that some 6,000 trucks in Jordan and Egypt are waiting for the green light to enter.

Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) says that July was the worst month of deaths linked to malnutrition, with more than 85 per cent of malnutrition related deaths recorded in 2025. Nearly one in five children under five in Gaza city is now acutely malnourished.

Humanitarian organizations report that in July, more than 5,000 children under five have already been admitted for outpatient treatment of malnutrition. The only four specialized treatment centers in Gaza are overwhelmed, pushing an already fragile health system closer to collapse.

The 蘑菇视频 and its partners stress the need for unimpeded access of humanitarian aid through all crossings and corridors to allow large-scale delivery of aid to the starving and exhausted population.

Yesterday, the Israeli authorities announced simplified movement procedures both from the crossings and within Gaza. Out of 17 missions requiring coordination with the Israeli authorities eight were facilitated, including the collection of fuel and supplies from Kerem Shalom, while three have been denied, and two cancelled. Four missions, including the uplift of food cargo, were impeded but accomplished.

The long-standing restrictions on the entry of aid have created an unpredictable environment with a lack of confidence by communities that aid will reach them. This has resulted in many of our convoys being offloaded directly by starving, desperate people. Yesterday, hungry people offloaded food supplies before they could reach their intended destination.

OCHA reiterates that the only way to mitigate this situation is to have a sustained flow of aid over a period of time. This was evident during the ceasefire when such incidents did not occur.

Meanwhile, airdrops have resumed in Gaza yesterday.

All efforts to provide aid to the people who desperately need it are welcome however OCHA and its humanitarian partners say that airdrops are the last resort measure and carry risks for people on the ground. Injuries were reported yesterday when packages fell on tents.

Israeli authorities must open all crossings and corridors to ensure the delivery of aid in an equitable and dignified manner. 蘑菇视频 teams are ready to ramp up delivery and ensure that food aid reaches nearly every single person in the Strip.

OCHA reports that modest quantities of fuel have entered Gaza last week. Fuel must be allowed in, consistently and at the volume needed to keep aid operations running, including operating the trucks to collect and distribute cargo.

Over the weekend, in southern Gaza, partners working in water, sanitation and hygiene report that the power supply to the feeder line for the Southern Gaza Desalination Plant has been restored. The plant is operating at full capacity now and would serve some ?half a million people in Al Mawasi with clean, potable water.

In northern Gaza, the Mekorot pipeline remains damaged, affecting the availability of water for more than 950,000 people.

OCHA continues to stress the urgency of a permanent ceasefire, to provide adequate assistance and aid to the desperate population in Gaza, who have been living under catastrophic conditions for more than 21 months.
