OCHA reports that the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ and its humanitarian partners continue to support displaced families across the\u00a0Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n
Humanitarian partners are currently delivering by truck more than 17,000 cubic metres of drinking water each day through 2,460 distribution points. However, this is 15 to 20 per cent less than in June, mainly due to funding shortages. This reduction comes as needs are highest during summer, and the risk of water shortages is greatest.<\/p>\n
Humanitarian partners are also distributing more than 4,600 cubic metres of domestic water each day for washing, cleaning and other household needs. Partners are working on addressing gaps to prevent further reductions in access to safe water.<\/p>\n
Partners report that about 80 per cent of all solid waste generated is collected. The remaining 20 per cent continues to pose public health risks. In Gaza city, about 75 per cent of the waste accumulated at the Firas Market temporary dump site has been removed and transferred to a new site in the Netzarim Corridor area. The new site is being developed as a temporary disposal area in the near term.<\/p>\n
Humanitarian partners working to mitigate pest infestation have reached 80 per cent of the 3,500 identified hotspots. The response includes community awareness-raising, insect-control spraying and rodent-control measures. Partners have also recently brought pest-control materials into Gaza.<\/p>\n
