United Nations spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric reported that humanitarian teams in Gaza continue to receive food and fuel through the Kerem Shalom crossing, but overall aid inflows remain constrained due to the closure of other cargo crossings and restrictions on certain supplies. He noted a decrease in the volume of aid delivered last month to fewer than 42,000 pallets, down from approximately 46,600 in May, according to UN 2720 Mechanism data under Security Council Resolution 2720 (2023). This system tracks and facilitates approved humanitarian consignments, including via the Jordan Corridor and the Ashdod port in Israel. Despite prior approvals, only 42% of supplies from Egypt and 65% from Ashdod were offloaded at Kerem Shalom last week.
UNICEF highlighted the severe impact of the conflict on children in Gaza, citing reports that more than 60,000 children have been killed or injured during over 1,000 days of war. The agency noted that a child has been killed on average every day for more than eight months, despite the October ceasefire. UNICEF emphasized that children in Gaza are growing up amid displacement, violence, and lack of essential needs like nutrition, healthcare, and protection.
Meanwhile, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that Israeli forces killed a 16-year-old Palestinian at Qalandiya camp near Jerusalem in the West Bank. Two other children were shot in the lower limbs during the same incident. The UN stressed the need to protect Palestinians in the West Bank from such violence.
