Key takeaway The number of families receiving shelter assistance in Gaza fell by 37 per cent from May to June due to funding shortfalls.
Why this matters
The humanitarian situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory continues to deteriorate, with access restrictions, insecurity, and funding shortfalls severely constraining humanitarian operations. The displacement of over 3,200 Palestinians in the West Bank this year, at a rate double that of the preceding three years, highlights the escalating crisis. The installation of a gate in Hebron's H2 area, restricting access to the Old City, further entrenches a system of movement restrictions affecting thousands of Palestinians. In Gaza, the exploitation of humanitarian shipments by external actors and the resulting confiscation attempts by de facto authorities exacerbate the challenges faced by aid workers. The 37 percent decline in shelter assistance to families in Gaza due to funding shortfalls underscores the urgent need for sustained support. As humanitarian space shrinks, the ability of organizations to provide critical assistance is increasingly compromised, leaving vulnerable populations at heightened risk of protection violations and deteriorating living conditions.
