Nearly one million people are estimated to be in Gaza city, where famine has been confirmed. They are facing daily bombardment and compromised access to means of survival after the Israeli military placed the entire city under a displacement order.
With no safe place left, the UN and its humanitarian partners call for a ceasefire, the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, and the sustained expansion of humanitarian access throughout the Gaza Strip.
The number of aid workers killed in the Gaza Strip since October 2023 rises to 540.
Some humanitarian facilities in Gaza city have been forced to halt services and many others risk shutdown, including temporary learning spaces and those offering sexual and reproductive health services to women and girls.
