I. Situation Overview
Affected Population
In Gaza, the two-year conflict has taken a staggering toll on women and girls. Since October 2023, more than 38,000 women and girls have been killed,1 and 172,202 have been injured.2 Most women and girls have been displaced at least four times.3 According to UN Women’s estimate based on the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) data, issued in December 2025, nearly 790,000 women and girls in Gaza experience crisis-level food insecurity or worse (IPC Phase 3 or higher). Over 16,000 women have lost their husbands, with women now heading one in seven households.4 Pregnant women are three times more at risk than a year ago.5 Around 540,000 women lack access to reproductive health care, and 700,000 struggle to manage menstruation.6 Thousands of adolescent girls are reaching puberty without safety, privacy, or sanitary supplies.
Meanwhile, over 328,000 girls have lost two school years, and all school-age children remain deprived of education – threatening an entire generation’s future.7 In the West Bank, the humanitarian situation is rapidly deteriorating amid intensified military operations, settler-related violence, and movement restrictions.
