Armed conflict in the Gaza Strip has been ongoing since October 2023, involving Palestinian militant groups and Israeli military forces. This has led to a severe humanitarian crisis and disruptions to communications networks, hindering humanitarian operations. The conflict has resulted in significant challenges for organizations operating in the area.

To address the need for reliable communications, the WFP-led Logistics and Telecommunications Cluster was activated in October 2023. Further details on the situation and humanitarian response are available from ReliefWeb, including the LTC Palestine - Gaza Strip Conflict Factsheet for July 2026.
