(4 June 2025) The world is watching, day after day, horrifying scenes of Palestinians being shot, wounded or killed in Gaza while simply trying to eat.  Emergency medical teams have confirmed treating hundreds of trauma cases. Yesterday alone, dozens were declared dead at hospitals after Israeli forces said they had opened fire. This is the outcome of a series of deliberate choices that have systematically deprived 2 million people of the essentials they need to survive.  

The Humanitarian Situation Updates on the Gaza Strip and on the West Bank are both issued every Wednesday/Thursday. The Gaza Humanitarian Response Update is issued every other Tuesday. The next Humanitarian Situation Updates will be published on 4 June. 

East Jerusalem and Gaza city, 28 May 2025 Six-hundred days on, the humanitarian situation in Gaza is at its darkest point yet. As relentless, deadly bombardment and mass displacement intensify, families are being starved and denied the basic means of survival. Meanwhile, the conditions for us to deliver aid safely and at scale are absent.

Opening Remarks at Press Briefing Jerusalem, 28 May 2025 (As prepared for delivery) Thank you for taking the time to join this briefing at such a critical moment for Gaza, for Palestinians and for the humanitarian response.
