OCHA OPT (Palestine)

Humanitarians are working hard to support Palestinians affected by heavy rains in #Gaza. "We have run out of time," warns Humanitarian Coordinator Dr. @RamizAlakbarov. "If supplies don't enter this week, we will miss the window of preparing for the winter." Watch.

Over the weekend, rains flooded shelters and damaged buildings across #Gaza. People were killed. Over 150k tents are ready to go into Gaza. Israeli approvals and humanitarian funding are needed urgently. We need heavy machinery and engine oil. Full report: ochaopt.org/content/humani…

We visited #Hebron #WestBank as Israeli forces concluded a nine-day operation that displaced thousands of #Palestinians following a deadly Palestinian attack. Local authorities helped residents with our support. Violence, evictions and collective punishment must end.
