The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said civilians and civilian infrastructure in Gaza continue to face airstrikes, shelling, gunfire, with reports of injuries and damage across the territory.
It reported minor damage to a humanitarian building in Deir al-Balah after a nearby strike, stressing that international humanitarian law requires protection of civilians and civilian facilities.
OCHA also noted ongoing humanitarian operations in the West Bank despite constraints, while access to water and sanitation is being increasingly restricted due to violence, demolitions, and movement limits.
It added that since the start of the year, over 100 incidents have damaged more than 190 water and sanitation facilities, and called for stronger protection of Palestinians and essential services.
