SUMMARY OF CRISIS AND KEY FINDINGS

Although Gaza has suffered previous escalations, the current war stands out as unprecedented in the scale of death, destruction, and human suffering it has incurred, with repercussions that will echo for generations to come.

The ongoing conflict in the Occupied Palestinian Territory— Gaza Strip and West Bank — has led to a devastating humanitarian crisis marked by significant loss of life and widespread disruptions in healthcare. Over the past 300 days, the Gaza Strip has witnessed more than 39,500 fatalities, with a staggering 91,000 injuries reported. In the West Bank, there have been 594 fatalities and more than 5,600 injuries, highlighting the severe impact of violence on local communities.

A call for action for the Importation of Soap, Shampoo, and Detergent

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has reached an alarming level due to a critical shortage of essential hygiene items such as soap, shampoo, and detergents. Families are struggling to maintain basic hygiene in overcrowded shelters, which increases the risk of communicable diseases like diarrhea, respiratory infections, and skin diseases such as scabies. Children, pregnant women, and individuals with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable, as they are unable to protect themselves without access to these essential supplies.
