Key Points

The Gaza Strip

  • In the last 24 hours, three UNRWA staff have been killed in ongoing strikes, while in their houses with their families, bringing the total to 67 UNRWA colleagues killed since 7 October.
  • The situation in shelters remains critical, with very limited assistance available and no additional space to accommodate the increasing number of Internally Displaced People (IDPs). More than 670,000 people are sheltering in nearly 150 UNRWA installations across the Gaza Strip, facing deteriorating humanitarian conditions and health and protection risks.

The West Bank, including East Jerusalem

  • Israeli Security Forces (ISF) operations, involving Palestinian fatalities, were reported in Askar, Dheisheh, and Jenin refugee camps on 29 and 30 October. Several other Palestinians were injured during these operations, and damage to civilian infrastructure was also reported.
  • According to OCHA, 121 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since 7 October.
