“I’m standing here in Jabalya camp, an area that has been subject to intense bombing since the last three months. We have not been able to access it to observe the situation, provide shelter, provide medical points or provide food to older people who either fled from here or were trapped here. And now we have been driving for the last ten minutes, and I haven't seen a single building standing.”

Storyline
OCHA and its partners visited Jabalya camp in North Gaza governorate. They report that people there are creating makeshift shelters amid the rubble. There is also a critical lack of access to water, with all wells destroyed, and the risk of unexploded ordnance remains high. The UN and its humanitarian partners are mobilizing to provide food and emergency shelter support.
