Many in #Gaza and the #WestBank observe Ramadan in displacement, and often amid destruction. The regional escalation has further disrupted aid and basic services. Still, aid workers keep seizing every chance to help. Latest report: ochaopt.org/content/humani…

The Middle East escalation is already having an impact on people in #Gaza and the #WestBank. ⚠️Checkpoints closed. ⚠️Energy routes, supply chains, livelihoods and services disrupted. ⚠️Civilians at risk from falling debris after missile interceptions.

⚠️ Israeli measures in the #WestBank risk dispossession and displacement, @antonioguterres warns. ℹ️ This year, nine in every ten #Palestinians displaced due to settler attacks and access restrictions have been in the Jordan Valley. 👉Our latest update: ochaopt.org/content/humani…

Families across #Gaza are beginning #Ramadan in harsh conditions – in unsafe shelters or out in the open. The UN and partners have adjusted food distribution hours to align with fasting times, helping reduce overcrowding and ensure safer access.

Amid reports of ill-treatment during transit, aid workers offer critical services to Palestinians returning to #Gaza. Meanwhile, shelter conditions remain dire and strikes continue, causing casualties and exposing civilians to deadly risks. Read more: ochaopt.org/content/humani…

Yousef Zawahra was assaulted by Israeli settlers last month. His home was set on fire after settlers broke in, beat him and his wife with clubs and pepper spray, and dragged them outside as the house burned. Everyone should be safe in their home. ochaopt.org/content/humani…

Displacement in the #WestBank is on the rise. In January 2026, settler violence and access restrictions displaced 694 #Palestinians: 📊More than in all of 2024 (621) 📊Over 40% the 2025 total (1,658) Read more: ochaopt.org/content/humani…

Hundreds of #Palestinians have been displaced in the #WestBank since early 2026. In parts of the #Jerusalem governorate, schools have been suspended as families faced movement restrictions while Israeli forces operated in residential areas. Full update: ochaopt.org/content/humani…

The reopening of Gaza's Rafah crossing is an important milestone – for returnees, for medical evacuations, for lives. This is a start, but it’s not enough. More humanitarian supplies must enter in sufficient amounts and with fewer restrictions through Rafah and other crossings.

Of the hundreds of #Palestinians displaced in the #WestBank last month, >150 lost their homes in demolitions related to the lack of building permits, which are nearly impossible to obtain. Last year, >1,700 were displaced for lacking permits – the highest annual total on record.

Partial reopening of Rafah crossing for people to leave and return to Gaza is welcome. But this is not enough — it must function as real humanitarian corridor so we can surge lifesaving help.

#Gaza: Shooting continues. In-person learning is unavailable for most pupils. Since Oct, tens of thousands of tents have been delivered, but tents aren't a durable solution. Meanwhile, more children have died from hypothermia. Read this week's update here: ochaopt.org/content/humani…

Since the ceasefire in #Gaza, @WHO has facilitated the medical evacuations of 377 patients, including 310 children. However, the need for urgent medical evacuations is far higher. ⬇️

Our teams are carrying out assessments and working with #humanitarian partners to ensure people receive the support they need. No one should be unsafe in their homes, let alone forced to leave them. #WestBank (6/6)

These high numbers come on top of the displacement of another 178 #Palestinians this month due to demolitions. See here: ochaopt.org/data/demolition (5/6)

This week, the last 100 residents of Ras Ein al ‘Auja of the #WestBank were forced to leave, emptying the community and bringing displacement there this month to about 600 people. A short thread 👇 (1/6)
