Highlights
- In the northern West Bank, Israeli forces extended for two months a military order that further prolongs the displacement from three refugee camps of over 33,000 people since January 2025.
- Another 5,700 Palestinians have been displaced because of settler attacks and access restrictions since January 2023.
- Israeli settler violence has further escalated, with March recording the highest number of Palestinian injuries by Israeli settlers in the last 20-years.
- Between 31 March and 5 April, taking approved supplies into Gaza was undermined by the reduced opening of Kerem Shalom, lower scanning capacity in Ashdod, custom-related delays and other disruptions to the supply chain.
- People in half of the displacement sites in Gaza are affected by skin diseases while rodents and pests are frequently observed in 80 per cent of the sites.
- A critical shortage of lubricating oil for electric diesel generators is expected to trigger a decrease in water production for drinking and domestic purposes.
Overview
Across the Occupied Palestinian Territory, people continue to be exposed to high levels of violence and restrictive policies, resulting in casualties and property damage, prolonging existing displacement, triggering new displacement and deepening humanitarian needs. At the same time, efforts by humanitarian partners to address people’s needs continue to be hindered.
