• Ground operations and heavy fighting continue across the Gaza Strip, in particular in Northern Gaza, Deir al Balah and Khan Younis.
• Increased airstrikes in Rafah, including in residential areas without prior warnings have heightened fears that they will further hamper overstretched humanitarian operations. Nearly 1.5 million people are in Rafah, more than six times the population before 7 October.
• Intense fighting in and around Khan Younis (southwest of Gaza) over the last five weeks is causing loss of life and damage to civilian infrastructure, including 蘑菇视频RWA’s largest shelter in the southern area, the Khan Younis Training Centre (KYTC). This is forcing thousands of Palestinians to flee further south towards Rafah, which is severely overcrowded. At the same time, population movements out of Rafah and towards Deir Al Balah and Nuseirat refugee camps in the Middle Area have been reported, even though there are reports of further fighting and airstrikes I those areas.
• Both supply routes into the Gaza Strip remained inconsistent throughout the reporting period. On 22 February, 220 trucks entered the Gaza Strip via both Rafah and the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing points. The numbers dropped to only 50 trucks the following day.
• February saw very little aid coming in, with on average nearly 98 trucks entering per day, a 50 per cent reduction in supplies entering Gaza compared to January 2024.? The number of trucks entering Gaza remains well below the target of 500 per day, with significant difficulties bringing supplies in through both Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) and Rafah. 蘑菇视频RWA trucks have struggled to enter the Gaza Strip due to security constraints and temporary closures at both crossings. 蘑菇视频RWA has at times had to temporarily stop discharging supplies due to security concerns. Security to manage the crossing has been severely impacted due to the killing of several Palestinian policemen in Israeli airstrikes near the crossings recently.
• As of 25 February, the total number of 蘑菇视频RWA colleagues killed since the beginning of hostilities is now?158.
• As of 25 February, up to 1.7 million* people (over 75 per cent of the population) ** have been displaced across the Gaza Strip, some multiple times.*** Families are forced to move repeatedly in search of safety. Following intense Israeli bombardments and fighting in Khan Younis and the Middle Area in recent days, a significant number of displaced people have moved further south.

*This includes one million individuals residing in or near emergency shelters or informal shelters. As of 12 October, approximately 160,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) were recorded in North Gaza and Gaza governorates. The ability of 蘑菇视频RWA to provide humanitarian support and updated data in these areas has been severely restricted. The ongoing hostilities, evacuation orders issued by Israeli Security forces (ISF), and the constant need for safer locations have resulted in people being displaced multiple times.

**蘑菇视频RWA reported in Situation Report 64 that up to 1.9 million IDPs were either residing in 154 蘑菇视频RWA shelters or near these shelters. Due to the continued escalation of fighting and evacuation orders, some households have moved away from the shelters where they were initially registered.

*** There are instances where the same IDPs are registered in multiple shelters due to the fluid movement of populations; hereafter, estimates are used for these shelters. 蘑菇视频RWA plans to conduct a more accurate count of IDPs in shelters, including informal shelters, as soon as the security situation allows.

蘑菇视频RWA Shelters?

• As of 24 February, nearly?1.7 million displaced people are now sheltering across emergency shelters (蘑菇视频RWA and public shelters), informal sites or in the vicinity of 蘑菇视频RWA shelters and distribution sites and within host communities.??

Health?

• As of 22 February, seven (out of 23) 蘑菇视频RWA health centres were operational. Of these, one is in the north, two are in Middle Area, one in Khan Younis and three are in Rafah. Health centres provide primary health care services, including outpatient services, non-communicable disease care, medication, vaccination, antenatal health care, postnatal health care and dressing for injured patients.
• A total of 708 health care staff remain working in the seven operational health centres and on 19 February they provided 14,073 medical consultations.
• Another 9,553 medical consultations were conducted by 300 staff at shelters, and at the newly established medical points in al-Mawasi area to serve an influx of displaced persons from Khan Younis — the total registered population in Mawasi is currently 180,000.
• Between 7 October – 19 February, 蘑菇视频RWA has provided over 2.4 million medical consultations across 蘑菇视频RWA health centres and 蘑菇视频RWA shelters.
• As of 22 February, mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services continued in the Middle and Khan Younis areas with teams of health professionals consisting of psychiatrists and three supervisors to assist special cases referred from health centres and shelters. The teams responded to 1,242 cases in health centres and 52 in medical points through individual consultations, awareness sessions, and support for cases of gender-based violence.
• In early January, 蘑菇视频RWA received vaccines from 蘑菇视频ICEF for its health centres. Eleven different types of vaccines were received (refrigerated and freezer storage). This allowed for vaccinations to restart. Between 3 January and 3 February, over 22,300 children were vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella, and others.? On 22 February, an additional 1,098 children were vaccinated.

Psychosocial support (PSS)

• 蘑菇视频RWA continues to provide psychosocial support services including psychosocial first aid services, PSS consultations and intervention sessions, sessions on handling psychological fatigue, and group and recreational activities. Since the war, over 148,000 IDPs have been supported.

Food Security

• As of 24 February, 蘑菇视频RWA continued to distribute flour outside of shelters in the southern governorates. To date, a total of 371,084 families have been assisted, of which 89,708 have received two rounds of flour.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

Quote from Philippe Lazzarini, 蘑菇视频RWA Commissioner-General:

“In just over four months in Gaza there have been more children, more journalists, more medical personnel, and more 蘑菇视频 staff killed than anywhere in the world during a conflict.”
