As of 18:00 on 11 February 2026, unless otherwise noted

This report, issued every Friday, outlines efforts and progress made by the UN and its partners to scale up the humanitarian response across the Gaza Strip following the ceasefire that entered into effect on 10 October 2025. The next report will be issued on 20 February. For all situation reports see here.

HIGHLIGHTS

• The UN has begun removing solid waste from the Firas Market dumping site in Gaza city, where more than 300,000 cubic metres had accumulated; teams are disposing of it at a temporary site that meets environmental standards.
• At least 48,000 children have benefited from learning materials that humanitarian partners took into Gaza for the first time in two years.
• Between 4 and 10 February, the Shelter Cluster reached almost 5,500 households with 1,730 tents, 1,420 tarpaulins, and thousands of bedding and kitchen items; however, distributions have decreased significantly because of lengthy approval processes and restrictions on partners’ operations.

SITUATION OVERVIEW

Between 6 and 11 February, airstrikes, shelling and gunfire continued across the Gaza Strip, reportedly resulting in civilian casualties and damage to civilian objects. According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza (MoH), 20 Palestinians were killed, and 80 others injured during this period, bringing the total casualty toll reported by MoH since the ceasefire came into effect on 10 October 2025 to 1,591 killed and 1,578 injured. On 10 February, an UNRWA staff member was killed in an airstrike while walking on the street east of Deir al Balah.

Since the reopening of Rafah Crossing in early February for the limited movement of people, the UN and partners have supported the medical evacuation of 108 patients and 165 companions through this route.

Separately, 269 people returned to Gaza. Returnees were provided with a range of services at a reception area by the UN and partners, including medical care, protection support and information, psychosocial services, food, water and other basic items, as well as transportation assistance.

The UN continues to engage with all relevant stakeholders to ensure that movements are safe and dignified and calls for the freedom of movement for more people to voluntarily exit and enter Gaza.

Efforts to address immediate weather-related and conflict-related needs through joint distributions continue. Between 5 and 11 February, aid workers in Deir al Balah and Khan Younis provided tents, tarpaulins, bedding and blankets, hygiene products, cereals, plastic sheeting, and clothes to 289 displaced families whose shelters and belongings were damaged by heavy rains. In Khan Younis, a humanitarian team is supporting five families whose shelters and belongings were destroyed by an accidental fire with joint distributions.

Between 18 and 31 January, the Site Management Cluster recorded nearly 6,500 population movements within the Gaza Strip. Some displacement is believed to have been caused by military activity in or near residential areas. Since the ceasefire agreement, nearly 827,000 population movements have been observed, including some 690,000 from southern to northern Gaza. OCHA assesses that the population in northern Gaza has increased by over 10 per cent since late December, likely as people from Deir al Balah moved towards the north.

HUMANITARIAN AID ENTRY*

Between 6 and 11 February, at least 9,784 pallets of aid administered by the UN and its partners were offloaded at Gaza’s crossings, based on data retrieved from the UN2720 Mechanism dashboard at 11:00 on 12 February. About 65 per cent of these pallets contained food supplies, with other categories being shelter items (13 per cent), nutrition supplies (9.5 per cent), water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) assistance (7 per cent), health items (2.5 per cent), and education materials (1 per cent).

During the same period, international monitors with the UN Office for Project Services (UNOPS) deployed at Gaza’s crossings verified the collection of 10,338 pallets of aid – 7,115 through Kerem Shalom Crossing and 3,223 through Zikim Crossing. These included 5,726 pallets of food assistance, more than 2,802 pallets of shelter items including tents, blankets, tarpaulins and kitchenware, 818 pallets of WASH items, 644 pallets of education materials, 190 pallets of solid fuel and firewood, 136 pallets of nutrition supplies, and some medical items and fuel tank sensors.

Overall, between the announcement of the ceasefire on 10 October 2025 and 11 February 2026, at least 293,188 pallets of humanitarian cargo were offloaded, and 295,505 pallets were collected from the various crossings. Some 1,532 pallets, less than one per cent of all collected aid, were intercepted during transit within Gaza.

The above data does not include bilateral donations and the commercial sector.

Between 5 and 10 February, UNOPS distributed 738,466 litres of diesel to partners – 462,820 litres in the south and 275,646 litres in the north – to support critical water and sanitation, health, logistics, rubble removal, shelter, site management, telecommunications, education, nutrition, cash assistance and protection operations. More than 768,000 litres of fuel were collected into the Gaza Strip during the same period.

Between 6 and 11 February, the UN attempted to coordinate 48 humanitarian missions with the Israeli authorities inside Gaza. Of these, five were denied outright. Of the remaining attempts, 25 missions (52 per cent) were facilitated, and 11 (23 per cent) were approved but faced impediments – including 9 that were fully accomplished despite the impediments and two that were only partially accomplished. Another seven missions (15 per cent) had to be cancelled by the organizers due to operational, logistical, or security reasons.

With Rafah closed for cargo and Nitzana closed to UN and international NGOs since 1 January, truck movements from Egypt continue to be routed from Egyptian Rafah to Kerem Shalom. However, humanitarian partners have continued to face high return rates through this route. Of the 211 aid trucks manifested between 5 and 10 February, only 59 per cent could be offloaded at Gaza’s crossings. This is an increase from 39 per cent between 12 January and 5 February.
