Every person deserves to live in safety and dignity, and humanitarian aid must reach everyone, everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shelter needs are extreme, with an estimated 90 per cent of the population displaced and at least 1.5 million people urgently requiring emergency shelter assistance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany people are returning to find their homes reduced to rubble,\u201d Ms. Pope added, warning that the recovery \u201ccannot begin without safe housing\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the ceasefire, customs delays, insecurity, and limited crossings continue to hinder aid delivery. IOM has pre-positioned millions of relief items in nearby Jordan, including 28,000 additional tents and more than four million winter supply items ready for rapid deployment once access improves.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A million meals a day<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At UN Headquarters in New York, Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq said the UN and partners are scaling up food, nutrition, and water services under the UN\u2019s 60-day response plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>Our partners are now distributing over one million hot meals daily across the Strip<\/strong>,\u201d he said, adding that six UN-supported bakeries have resumed bread production.<\/p>\n<p>More than 150 nutrition sites are now operating across Gaza, supported by 20 mobile health and nutrition teams \u2013 double the number before the ceasefire. \u201cThis week alone, partners delivered enough therapeutic food to treat 1,200 children suffering from acute malnutrition,\u201d Mr. Haq noted.<\/p>\n<p>Water and sanitation support is also expanding, with hundreds of thousands of diapers, jerry cans and hygiene kits distributed, and 140 new water tanks installed to expand community access points.<\/p>\n<h2>Limited crossing points<\/h2>\n<p>Aid continues to enter through the two operational crossings, Kerem Shalom and Kissufim. On Wednesday alone, 127 UN-coordinated trucks were collected for distribution inside Gaza, carrying food, tents, medical supplies and fuel.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Haq emphasised that \u201c<strong>more can and must be done<\/strong>\u201d, urging Israel to open additional crossings, especially to the north, and to facilitate access for NGOs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need full, safe and unrestricted humanitarian access,\u201d he said. \u201cThe needs are immense \u2013 and they are growing by the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/feed\/view\/en\/story\/2025\/10\/1166179\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the ceasefire on 10 October, the UN migration agency IOM has dispatched more than 47,000&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":79365,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[309,1349,307,4628,1392,7436,3127,368],"class_list":["post-79364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-middle-east","tag-displaced","tag-face","tag-food","tag-freezing","tag-gazas","tag-nights","tag-shortages","tag-warns"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.0 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
