The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ, partners and municipal service providers continue carrying out pest control in all populated areas of the Gaza Strip, but skin diseases and other related health conditions remain widespread.<\/p>\n
As most of the water network remains destroyed, the United Nations Development Programme brought five additional water trucks into Gaza last week, and Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵICEF brought in water treatment chemicals. Together, this will boost our ability to provide water to communities by truck. Water trucking remains a backup option, but it is expensive to sustain; repairing the heavily damaged infrastructure is essential.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, last week, partners provided psychosocial care, legal aid and case management to nearly 50,000 people across Gaza. At the same time, targeted assistance and cash support helped nearly 20,000 people and hundreds of vulnerable households meet their basic needs.<\/p>\n
Today, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵOSAT\u2019s Satellite Centre released an assessment showing that farmers in Gaza have been able to rehabilitate about 24 hectares of greenhouse infrastructure since the declaration of a ceasefire in October 2025.<\/p>\n
FAO says that these developments coincide with signs of recovery in the livestock sector. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ and partners are supporting agricultural recovery through cash, livestock support and technical guidance. Since October, FAO has distributed nearly 600 tonnes of animal feed every month.<\/p>\n
Still, partners warn that over 80 per cent of the greenhouse infrastructure remains damaged and out of production. This is severely limiting farmers\u2019 capacity to grow food for people who desperately need it.<\/p>\n
Most of the land in the Gaza Strip remains inaccessible for Palestinians. This limits livelihood opportunities, crowds the shelters in accessible areas, and heightens public health risks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
