Humanitarian Response Report PRCS 19/1/2025 until 01/2/2025 [EN/AR]

The General Situation:

The ceasefire in the Gaza Strip came into effect on January 19, 2025, after 15 months of killing, destruction, displacement, and famine. This contributed to the implementation of the first phase of the agreement and the return of over half a million displaced people to the Gaza and North Gaza governorates, creating an opportunity to increase humanitarian aid. Despite this, challenges remain, such as restrictions on the movement of goods, the entry of essential materials, relief supplies, and medical evacuations. On the other hand, the West Bank witnessed a serious escalation in military operations and settler attacks, particularly in the cities of Jenin and Tulkarem, where forced displacement orders were imposed on hundreds of citizens from their homes, extensive destruction of infrastructure, and disruption of access to basic services. Israeli occupation forces also imposed movement restrictions, setting up about 900 checkpoints, which further complicated the humanitarian situation. There is concern that these measures could create new permanent facts on the ground, necessitating urgent international action to maintain the stability of the ceasefire in Gaza Strip and prevent the worsening of the situation in the West Bank.
