In the\u00a0Occupied Palestinian Territory\u00a0(OPT), OCHA reports that the movement of supplies into Gaza continues to be restricted.<\/p>\n
Over the weekend, Israeli authorities informed us that Zikim Crossing will remain closed this week, leaving Kerem Shalom as the only operational crossing for cargo.<\/p>\n
The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ continues to call for more crossings to open and for more critical supplies, such as backup generators and fuel, to be allowed in \u2013 regularly, predictably, and in sufficient volumes.<\/p>\n
OCHA also\u00a0reports<\/a>\u00a0that efforts to address public health risks and improve sanitation across the Gaza Strip continue.<\/p>\n After the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ brought 3 tons of rodenticides and 3,000 litres of pesticides into Gaza earlier this month, they and their humanitarian partners launched<\/a>\u00a0a response spanning over 1,700 locations to spray, take rodent control measures and raise people\u2019s awareness.<\/p>\n Humanitarian partners working in water and sanitation report that severe shortages of engine oil continue to disrupt critical operations. They estimate that approximately 7,000 litres are required each month to keep water and sanitation operations running.<\/p>\n Life\u2011saving activities are increasingly curtailed. For example, on 11 May, the Sheikh Radwan stormwater lagoon in Gaza City had to shut down to preserve the generator’s lifespan. Since then, water and wastewater levels have risen significantly, raising the risk of flooding in the coming weeks and posing further public health threats.<\/p>\n Between 11 May and 17 May, shelter partners provided more than 14,000 households across Gaza with shelter and essential items.<\/p>\n Humanitarian partners are also responding in the West Bank, mainly to Palestinian communities affected by conflict-related damage, escalating settler violence, the increasing risk of forcible displacement of entire communities, and deteriorating shelter conditions.<\/p>\n Last month alone, partners reached more than 40,000 people in that part of the OPT. They provided shelter repairs, cash assistance, tents and other supplies, and installed fences and doors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 26 May 2026 In the\u00a0Occupied Palestinian Territory\u00a0(OPT), OCHA reports that the movement of supplies into Gaza continues to be restricted.
