Israeli authorities re-opened the Kerem Shalom crossing, which remains the only crossing point for approved cargo to enter Gaza.<\/p>\n

In the past week alone, partners provided families with tents, tarpaulins, bedding, kitchen kits and clothing. Partners also carried out emergency repairs on makeshift shelters and rehabilitated partially damaged homes.<\/p>\n
Despite these efforts, needs remain immense. Tens of thousands of families are living in overcrowded shelters, while many others continue to sleep outdoors or in damaged buildings. As temperatures rise, tents and makeshift shelters trap heat, making them uninhabitable during the day. Partners stress that they need more supplies, calling for the entry of sandbags, timber, plywood, gravel, cement and tool kits, among other critical supplies.<\/p>\n
Partners report that families are finding it increasingly difficult to access food, including bread, following the closure of many kitchens.<\/p>\n
By the end of May, 23 partners were delivering some 678,000 meals daily through 80 kitchens. This is a sharp decline from mid-March, when 170 kitchens were providing 1.5 million meals per day.\u00a0Funding constraints are increasingly limiting humanitarian response.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
