Key points
The Gaza Strip
- In the last 72 hours, another 10 Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA staff have been killed, bringing the total to 63 Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA colleagues killed since 7 October.
- Nearly 672,000 Internally Displaced People (IDPs) are sheltering in 149 Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA installations across the Gaza Strip, facing increasingly desperate conditions. The ability to provide lifesaving assistance has been further hindered by the 36-hour disruption in communications that affected the whole Gaza Strip, including humanitarian organizations, between 27 and the early hours of 29 October.
- With very limited assistance available, and shelters overwhelmed, mounting tensions are reported among the displaced communities. Several break-ins into Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA warehouses and distribution centres were reported, with food and non-food items taken.
The West Bank, including East Jerusalem
- Israeli Security Forces (ISF) operations, involving Palestinian fatalities, have been reported in Jenin and Qalqilya refugee camps on 27 October.
- According to OCHA, 115 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since 7 October, including 33 children.
- Several incidents of settler violence were also reported between 26 and 28 October, targeting Palestinians harvesting olives. One Palestinian fatality was reported in a village near Nablus during an attack of armed settlers on 28 October.
