OCHA OPT (Palestine)

Clearing accumulated solid waste from Firas Market is helping revive one of #Gaza’s key commercial hubs, creating safer conditions for businesses and communities and supporting the recovery of local livelihoods. Thanks to the support of @GerRepRamallah, @eu_echo, @ochaopt, and @BelgiumJRS, @UNDP and its partners are making this possible. 📽️ Watch a message from the field by Jaco Cilliers, UNDP/PAPP Special Representative.

Despite an extremely challenging operating environment, access constraints, and limited availability of heavy machinery and fuel, @UNDP continues to work hand in hand with the @MOPWH_Palestine, as part of the Debris Management Working Group, to create the conditions for early recovery. With more than 60 million tonnes of debris across #Gaza, the scale of the task remains immense. Even under these conditions, UNDP has so far: ✅ Removed 522,000+ tonnes of debris. ✅ Crushed 202,000+ tonnes of rubble for reuse. ✅ Reused 263,000+ tonnes of recycled materials. 📽️ Watch the video and hear directly from community members about how these efforts are helping restore access to essential services and improve everyday life.

In #Gaza, continued displacement and access restrictions are limiting humanitarian assistance and increasing protection risks. In #WestBank, settler attacks now account for 55% of Palestinian injuries recorded in 2026. Read more: ochaopt.org/content/humani…

In #Gaza, new displacement along the “Yellow Line” continues amid military operations and aid work is increasingly exposed to insecurity and delays. In the #WestBank, Israeli successive movement restrictions affect thousands of Palestinians. Read more: #IntersectoralSupport" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ochaopt.org/content/humani…

This year, settler attacks have become the #1 cause of Palestinian displacement in the #WestBank. These attacks cause casualties and property damage, and restrict people's access to livelihoods - deepening their humanitarian needs. See our updated map: ochaopt.org/content/west-b…

Useful catch up call from Caracas with Prime Minister Mustafa @PalestinePMO. Amid immense challenges, 41,000 students in Gaza just sat high school exams, a cause for hope. We aim for a surge of practical support on waste and water.

In #Gaza, more and more families are being displaced again from areas along the "Yellow Line," as Israeli troops advance. Since those areas are unsafe, they are also underserviced. This is how it looks like on the ground.

Expanding Israeli control in #Gaza endangers civilians and relief efforts. UN and partners jointly call for the protection of civilians, including along the "Yellow Line." Humanitarian access must be secured - into and across Gaza. Statement 👉ochaopt.org/content/expans…

Chickenpox in #Gaza is surging. 85% of solid waste is collected; pest control helps contain health risks. In the #WestBank, those displaced in 2026 due to settler attacks and related access restrictions have now surpassed 2,300. Read more: ochaopt.org/content/humani…

#EastJerusalem needs international support and attention. Yesterday, Humanitarian Coordinator @RamizAlakbarov led a field visit with more than 20 diplomats, who met communities facing demolitions, movement restrictions, evictions and the threat of forcible transfer. Watch 👇

Last week saw new displacement in all parts of the Occupied Palestinian Territory. In #Gaza, access-restricted areas now take up 65% of the land. In the #WestBank, a single demolition affected 2,600 people. Relief efforts continue. Latest report: ochaopt.org/content/humani…

This week, with joint support from @UNICEF & @ICRC_ilot, critical wastewater infrastructure serving Gaza City was temporarily restored, enabling pumping to resume. A key step to reduce public health and environmental risks and restore essential services for children & families.

Displacement in the #WestBank has now surpassed 3,000 Palestinians in 2026. Most cases are linked to settler violence and related access restrictions, followed by home demolitions. Latest figures: ochaopt.org/content/west-b…

People in #Gaza lack access to safe water. The occupied Palestinian territory Humanitarian Fund @OCHAFunds is now allocating $3M to increase water trucking. This funding will be put to urgent use by local partners. Join us: crisisrelief.un.org/en/opt-crisis

"Palestinians in Gaza remain deprived of the basics that you would all demand for your own families: safety, shelter, clean water, healthcare, education." @UNReliefChief tells Security Council civilians continue to be killed in daily airstrikes & gunfire. unocha.org/news/un-relief…

We have made progress since ceasefire, but from catastrophic base. Fragile humanitarian gains are bare minimum of what Palestinians need, what we can provide, and what international law demands. World must return patient, sustained and principled attention to Gaza.

⚠ Rapid deterioration: #WestBank: medicines out of stock, surgeries postponed. In 2026: >1,000 settler attacks, >190 water-related structures damaged. #Gaza: most people displaced, but relief efforts increasingly restricted amid funding gaps. More: ochaopt.org/content/humani…

So far in 2026, settler attacks in the #WestBank have caused casualties or property damage six times per day on average. More than any year on record. Civilians must be protected. International law must be fully respected. More: ochaopt.org/content/humani…

In the heart of the decimated #Gaza Strip, Ahmed’s farm stands out as a seed of recovery. Restarting local food production is key to food security. With support from the OPT Humanitarian Fund, farmers are rebuilding livelihoods and communities. Donate: bit.ly/4uycuQP
