Overview

Hostilities in Gaza and Israel are ongoing, and violence in the West Bank has surged. Millions of Palestinians struggle to live with dignity under Israeli occupation, facing coercive practices and Palestinian political divisions.

Key Highlights

• For almost a month, all attempts by humanitarian organizations to deliver food to people in the besieged areas of North Gaza governorate have been blocked by the Israeli authorities.
• In central and southern Gaza, more than 100 kitchens producing 400,000 meals a day are at risk of shutting down due to supply shortages.
• Health-care conditions in North Gaza remain critical with the Kamal Adwan Hospital hit twice in the past week and the delivery of life-saving supplies to the Al Awda Hospital denied.
• Over 42 million tons of rubble and a large concentration of explosive hazards pose an imminent threat to civilians, while the entry of specialized personnel and equipment and the conduct of explosive ordnance disposal activities are restricted.
• Ten per cent of all journalists working in Gaza have been killed since October 2023, reports the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, as the Israeli authorities still ban the entry of foreign journalists.

How does Alliance2015 help?

In light of the current crisis, Acted and CESVI mobilised to respond to the immediate needs of displaced populations in the Gaza Strip, particularly through the distribution of stocks of essential goods. 

CESVI has been providing urgent nutritional support over an eight-week cycle through the distribution of 18 tonnes of Plumpy’Nut, a special ready-to-use protein food used for the nutritional rehabilitation of children in emergency settings.

Given the increasing needs of Palestinian communities in the West Bank, Acted is also stepping up its response to provide assistance, particularly to displaced populations.
