Highlights:
- Malnutrition rates in Gaza have risen since hostilities resumed in March and an 11-week blockade halted both humanitarian aid and commercial access, demonstrating the life-saving impact of sustained aid delivery.
- With 95 per cent of schools damaged or destroyed, 658,000 children have been out of school for nearly two years, marking one of the most severe education crises.
- In Gaza, only 2,000 hospital beds remain for over 2 million people, while the West Bank has recorded 739 attacks on healthcare facilities.
- Food prices in Gaza are 150–700 per cent higher than pre-conflict levels, with essential items largely unavailable.
- Child fatalities in the West Bank have increased by 180 per cent since October 2023 with 170 children killed, the highest number in decades.
- UNICEF requires US$ 463.8 million to meet urgent humanitarian needs but is only 35 per cent funded, leaving a critical 65 per cent gap as conditions deteriorate.
