Thousands of families continue to be displaced in #Gaza as Israeli authorities issue new evacuation orders. The so-called “humanitarian zone” has shrunk to just 11% of the #GazaStrip, causing chaos and fear among the displaced. They have nowhere safe to go. #CeasefireNow

In recent weeks, polio has been detected in wastewater samples in Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah. That means the virus is now circulating, with hundreds of thousands of children in #Gaza at risk. A coordinated effort from World Health Organization, UNICEF and UNRWA is crucial to prevent and contain the spread of the virus through a vaccine campaign. Such a campaign will need humanitarian pauses to guarantee safety and access for medical teams. https://lnkd.in/dPZHEzVJ

In just over 10 months of war, 40,000 people have been reported killed in #Gaza. This very grim milestone is the result of a collective failure to reach a ceasefire. We call for a #CeasefireNow, for all hostages to be released and for humanitarian assistance and protection for civilians in Gaza.

Our latest on the situation in the 📍#GazaStrip and the 📍#WestBank 🔹According to OCHA, approximately 305 square kilometres, or nearly 84% of the Gaza Strip, has been placed under evacuation orders by the Israeli military. 🔹Access constraints within Gaza continue due to increased hostilities, to the separation of the north and south, and to frequent evacuation orders from the Israeli authorities. These continue to severely impede the delivery of life-saving humanitarian supplies and access to critical services 🔹As of 15 August, the total number of UNRWA team members killed since 7 October is 207 https://lnkd.in/dJXx69Q3

Humanitarian pauses are vital to allow World Health Organization, UNICEF and UNRWA to implement a critical polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip. UNRWA, the largest primary healthcare provider in the Gaza Strip, will administer vaccinations to children in both its primary health care centres and mobile clinics within shelters. Additionally, UNRWA mobile teams will visit communities, tent to tent, to vaccinate children who are unable to visit health facilities. https://lnkd.in/deHUiQ6v

This water well in Khan Younis was completely destroyed during Israeli military operations earlier this year. In the following months, displaced families were forced to return to the area to seek shelter. UNRWA teams worked around the clock to rebuild and repair the well, one of the main sources of water in Khan Younis. Because of their work, it once again pumps clean drinking water for 100,000 people sheltering in the area, a lifeline for families.

“We never expected that we’d have 90% of Gaza seeking refuge in our shelters. It’s a huge responsibility” UNRWA Communications Director Juliette Touma explains to Al-Monitor the crucial role of UNRWA in the region, and how the Agency is responding to the unprecedented crisis in #Gaza https://lnkd.in/d6j4ybH7
