Occupied Palestinian Territory

Gaza

Most people in Gaza remain displaced, often living in tents, schools or damaged buildings with few safe alternatives. Damage to civilian infrastructure and restrictions on aid access continue to limit food, clean water, shelter and medical care. Humanitarian assistance has produced fragile improvements, but daily life remains insecure and heavily dependent on sustained access.
