OCHA warns of rapid deterioration in the humanitarian situation in Gaza

New York, July 9, 2025 (WAFA) – The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned of a rapid deterioration in the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, noting that field reports indicate that tents, schools, homes, and medical facilities are being bombed, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries on a daily basis.

In its latest update on its official website, last night, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that hospitals are running low on supplies, ambulances are out of service, and water networks are on the verge of collapse.

It warned that the fuel crisis has reached a critical point, and that the small amount of fuel remaining is already being used to run the most important operations, but it is rapidly running out, with almost no additional stocks available.

OCHA warned of a likely sharp increase in deaths soon unless the Israeli occupation authorities allow the entry of new fuel, which has not arrived in the past few months.

OCHA indicated that the Israeli occupation authorities issued a new displacement order on Tuesday evening, including parts of Khan Yunis, particularly those living in tents, further complicating the humanitarian situation in the area. He explained that even the smaller areas where people are forced to congregate, which have now shrunk to about 15% of the Strip and are constantly shrinking, have become "fragmented" and remain completely unsafe.
