Gaza, MINA – The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) stated on Tuesday that Palestinians in the Gaza Strip continue to face dire humanitarian conditions, with no significant improvement despite a ceasefire in effect for over two months, Anadolu Agency reported.
“In Gaza, conditions remain dire, and humanitarian needs are overwhelming. Families continue to endure severe shortages and widespread destruction,” UNRWA said in a statement on the social media platform X.
Citing the latest report by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), the agency noted that 1.6 million people in the enclave face acute food insecurity. “Gaza remains in a man-made hunger crisis,” UNRWA quoted Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini as saying.
The agency reaffirmed that its teams, who are themselves displaced, continue working on the ground to support affected families.

The ceasefire agreement, which took effect on October 10, was intended to halt two years of conflict that has resulted in nearly 71,000 Palestinian deaths and over 171,000 injuries since October 2023.
According to the Gaza Government Media Office, an average of 244 humanitarian aid trucks have entered the enclave daily, far short of the agreed 600. Similarly, the average number of fuel trucks has not exceeded five per day, despite a designated minimum of 50, resulting in an overall compliance rate not exceeding 41%.
The office also reported 875 ceasefire violations committed by the Israeli army, which have led to 411 fatalities and 1,112 injuries.[]
