SITUATION UPDATE

Since the collapse of the ceasefire in Gaza on the night of March 17-18, military hostilities have intensified, resulting in the deaths and injuries of hundreds of individuals and causing further devastation to civilian infrastructure, including hospitals.

The situation in Gaza is catastrophic, with no humanitarian or commercial supplies entering the region for nearly two months.The World Food Programme (WFP) has exhausted its entire food supply, resulting in the closure of all bakeries supported by WFP, which has deprived 800,000 individuals of access to bread. All food parcel reserves have been depleted, and the last of the available supplies have been sent to hot meal kitchens, which are anticipated to run out within a matter of days.

As of April 15, approximately 420,000 individuals are estimated to have been displaced once more, according to the Site Management Cluster (SMC), leaving them with no safe refuge. Humanitarian efforts have been severely hampered by a mixture of increased military operations, a blockade instituted by the Israeli government that has prevented the entry of humanitarian aid and commercial supplies for 52 days (since March 2), the killing of aid workers along with assaults on their facilities, and strict movement limitations within Gaza.

As of 22nd April 2025, 66% (23 out of 35) of hospitals functional, all are partially, 8 field hospitals functional, including 4 fully and 4 partially, 47% (73 out of 154) of primary health care centers functional including 9 fully and 64 partially, 30% (8 out of 27) of UNRWA health centers functional.
