The humanitarian situation in Gaza and the West Bank has deteriorated significantly, with over 1,040 Palestinians injured in settler attacks since the start of 2026. In Gaza, 58% of the population faces severe deficiencies in shelter and essential services, exacerbated by intensified airstrikes and military operations. The UN Special Coordinator reported that two-thirds of Gaza is inaccessible or under severe restrictions, with urgent needs for shelter and non-food items. In the West Bank, Israeli military operations and settler violence have led to civilian casualties and damage to homes and infrastructure. The Kalandia Training Centre has been seized, impacting education for 340 Palestinian youths. Humanitarian access remains critically restricted, with funding only 40% of the required amount. The situation is dire as winter approaches, with massive shelter shortages and health risks mounting.
