Geneva, MINA – The United Nations said Monday that it had taken note of Hamas’s decision to dissolve its Government of Emergency Committee and transfer administrative responsibilities in Gaza to a newly formed national body, according to Anadolu Agency.
UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told a news conference that the UN welcomes any step that contributes to the implementation of the ceasefire agreement and advances the objectives reflected in relevant Security Council resolutions, including the full implementation of the ceasefire, the protection of civilians, and the unhindered provision of humanitarian aid. Dujarric added that the UN continues to support efforts towards unified Palestinian governance under the Palestinian Authority.
Early Monday, Gaza’s government announced the dissolution of its Emergency Committee and the resignation of its acting chairman, saying the move was intended to facilitate the transfer of governance to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza as part of a roadmap agreed upon by Palestinian factions.
The National Committee describes itself as a non-political body responsible for managing the territory’s day-to-day civil affairs. Composed of Palestinian national figures, it has operated from Cairo since mid-January but has not yet begun carrying out its duties from inside the Gaza Strip.

Dujarric further pointed to immense needs on the ground in the Gaza Strip and stressed that efforts were limited due to crossings other than the Kerem Shalom crossing remaining shut by Israel and Israeli restrictions on specific types of supplies.
He noted that data from the UN 2720 Mechanism shows a decline in the overall volume of supplies that the UN and its partners have been able to bring in last month, less than 42,000 pallets, down from about 46,600 in May. The UN spokesperson also reported that only 42 percent of the supplies from Egypt and 65 percent of the supplies from Ashdod port, already approved in principle, were offloaded last week at the Kerem Shalom crossing.
On September 29, 2025, US President Donald Trump announced a 20-point plan to end the war in Gaza, including the release of Israeli hostages, a partial Israeli military withdrawal from the enclave, the formation of a technocratic government, the deployment of an international stabilization force, and the disarmament of Hamas. The first phase of the plan entered into force on October 10, 2025. While Hamas says it fulfilled its obligations under the initial phase, Israel has failed to implement its commitments and has continued its daily attacks.
Israel has also continued to restrict the entry of agreed quantities of food, medicines, medical supplies, temporary shelters and prefabricated housing into Gaza, where about 2.4 million Palestinians, including 1.5 million displaced people, are living in dire humanitarian conditions. Israel has killed more than 73,000 people and injured over 173,000 others in a deadly offensive in Gaza since October 2023.[]
