Monthly Overview – August 2025 – UN2720 Mechanism for Gaza – UNOPS

1 September 2025

Summary:

In August 2025, 30.4K metric tonnes (t) of humanitarian aid processed through the UN2720 Mechanism were delivered to Kerem Shalom/Karem Abu Salem or Erez West/Zikim crossings. This is a 48% increase in delivered aid compared to July 2025 (20.6K t), and a 217% increase compared to the monthly average since April 2024 (9.6K t). In August, 47% of the total aid tonnage was delivered via Israel (including through Ashdod and Ben Gurion), 23% via the Jordan Corridor, and 22% via Egypt.

Out of the total 162.5K t overall aid delivered through the Mechanism, food constitutes most of the consignments (83%) followed by shelter (10%) and WASH (6%) items. As of 31 August, a total of over 180K t (over 263K pallets) of aid are in the pipeline of the UN2720 Mechanism, approved by COGAT (including Ready to Dispatch) but still pending delivery to Gaza.

Since the limited resumption of humanitarian aid movements on 19 May, all UN-manifested aid has been tracked and monitored by UN2720 through a combination of on-theground Monitors and cross-verification with partners. UN2720 Monitors continue to verify the collection and delivery of aid to its intended civilian destination within Gaza, subject to access permissions
