UNRWA Situation Report #192 on the Humanitarian Crisis in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem

UNRWA

15 Oct 2025

Highlights

The Gaza Strip

• On 10 October, a ceasefire entered into force across the Gaza strip.
• Following the ceasefire, large-scale population movements were recorded by the Site Management Cluster across several areas, including from southern Gaza towards the north (~309,699 displacement movements) and from west to east within Khan Younis governorate (~22,700 displacement movements) from 10 to 12 October.
• Welcoming the ceasefire announcement, UNRWA Commissioner-General shared his hope that "it will bring respite to people who survived the worst bombardment, displacement, loss and grief for two long years." He further called on all member states to "support UNRWA to do its work to assist people in need in the coming critical period," noting that "UNRWA has food, medicines and other basic supplies ready to go to Gaza."
• UNRWA has enough food in warehouses in Jordan and Egypt to supply the entire population for three months, including food parcels for 1.1 million people and flour for 2.1 million individuals. In addition, UNRWA has shelter supplies outside of Gaza sufficient to reach up to 1.3 million people.
• The Shelter Cluster reported that most people in Gaza reside in inadequate shelters that fail to meet basic emergency standards, leaving them exposed to harsh winter conditions.
• The UN Satellite Centre published a preliminary analysis showing that, as of 23 September, the extent of damage in Gaza City encompassed approximately 83 per cent of all structures, with an estimated 81,159 housing units damaged.
• OCHA reported that an average of four aid workers have been killed each week in the Gaza Strip so far in 2025, and at least 565 aid workers have been killed since 7 October 2023. Among them, UNRWA recorded over 370 workers killed since the war began (306 UNRWA personnel, in addition to 72 people who were supporting UNRWA activities[2]), as of 9 October 2025**.**

The occupied West Bank including East Jerusalem

• With the 2025 olive harvest season which began in the West Bank on 9 October, Israeli settler violence targeting Palestinian communities and agriculture continued unabated, with attacks and harassment reported across the West Bank.
• Movement restrictions were tightened across the West Bank by Israeli forces, including the deployment of mobile checkpoints, the closure of road gates, and the erection of cement blocks and other obstacles.
