OCHA reports that the UN and humanitarian partners continue to respond to both ongoing and emerging needs across the\u00a0Gaza Strip, while urging a more enabling operational environment and increased funding to reach the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n
Partners\u00a0note\u00a0that\u00a0shortages\u00a0in fuel,\u00a0engine\u00a0oil and spare parts\u00a0continue to undermine critical water and sanitation operations, including water production and distribution, as well as solid waste management. Through prioritized fuel allocations, life-saving activities, such as water production, treatment and trucking, have continued but at a reduced scale.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, partners are advancing the pest management plan. The UN Development Programme is leading pesticide application efforts, while UNICEF and the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees are supporting community mobilisation and awareness on safety measures.<\/p>\n
On food security, partners report that in the first two weeks of June, nearly 420,000 people received assistance, including two food parcels, high-energy biscuits and one bag of flour per family. This covers approximately 75 per cent of minimum daily caloric needs.<\/p>\n
In support of livelihoods, between 1 and 9 June,\u00a0partners distributed animal feed to\u00a0around 2,200 herders, with each household receiving one 50-kilogram bag of concentrated fodder and one bag of barley.<\/p>\n
In addition, since late March, partners have provided conditional cash\u00a0assistance\u00a0of\u00a0US$2,500 per farmer to more than 1,000 farmers, supporting the reactivation of local crop production across the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n
OCHA reiterates that sustained humanitarian access, adequate fuel supplies, and increased funding remain critical to\u00a0maintain\u00a0and scale up these life-saving interventions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
