OCHA: One month since Gaza ceasefire, humanitarians deliver on 60-day scale-up

11 November 2025

Under-Secretary-General Fletcher said in a statement yesterday that one month after the Gaza ceasefire, humanitarians are continuing to seize every opportunity to save lives. He noted that the UN and its partners have provided food to over 1 million people. Nutrition sites have been reopened, and hospital services are treating more patients. Vital immunizations are also being resumed, while water lines have been repaired, winter supplies distributed, and mental health support provided.

Despite that progress, Mr. Fletcher said that humanitarian operations in Gaza still face obstacles, including red tape and insecurity. He stressed that if these constraints are eased, humanitarians can do much more to reach more people in need with life-saving assistance.

Even given the fragile situation and ongoing impediments on the ground, OCHA says that the UN and its humanitarian partners continue reaching areas that were inaccessible prior to the ceasefire, providing vital assistance to people in need, especially the most vulnerable.

Between 7 November and yesterday, the UN Office for Project Services distributed more than 619,000 litres of diesel to partners – three quarters in the south and the rest in the north – to support critical operations, including in water, sanitation, hygiene, health, logistics, rubble removal, education, nutrition and protection.

Between 1 November and Sunday, partners provided general food assistance to some 255,000 people, distributing two food parcels per household.

One month into the ceasefire, partners working on food security are distributing about 160,000 bread bundles each day, which are produced by 19 UN-supported bakeries, nine of which are in northern Gaza.
