This report, issued daily from Monday to Saturday, outlines efforts and progress made by the UN and its partners to scale up humanitarian response across the Gaza Strip under the ceasefire that entered into effect on 10 October 2025. For all situation reports see here.

HIGHLIGHTS

Over 186,000 families have been reached with general food parcel distributions since the start of November. Daily meal production by partner-supported kitchens has increased by over 136 per cent compared to late September, with more than 1.55 million meals now distributed daily across Gaza.
A recent mass screening campaign of 7,930 children identified 575 with acute malnutrition, including 128 with the most severe form. All affected children were referred to treatment sites.
On 24 November, WHO facilitated the medical evacuation of 33 patients, alongside their 109 companions, from the Gaza Strip to receive necessary treatment abroad.

SITUATION OVERVIEW

On 23 November, due to reported Israeli military advances east of Gaza city, an estimated 50 additional families were displaced from the At-Tuffah and Ash-Shuja'iyya neighbourhoods, bringing the total number of affected families to approximately 650 (SitRep No. 28 refers). Most displaced households moved towards central Gaza city, with some seeking refuge in nearby shelters and others staying temporarily with relatives within the city. Several families had only recently returned to these neighborhoods and have now been displaced again, many leaving without any belongings.

On 24 November, a partner conducted an incident assessment following an unexploded ordnance (UXO) explosion in the Mushtal area of Gaza city. Ten tents were destroyed, affecting 10 families that lost their shelter and all their belongings. An additional 10 tents were partially damaged to varying degrees based on their proximity to the incident. Three people were injured, including one in severe condition. Affected families need new tents, blankets, mattresses, clothing, and psychosocial support.

UNITED NATIONS-COORDINATED AID ENTRY^*

On 24 November, 3,504 pallets of aid administered by the UN and its partners were offloaded at Gaza’s crossings, based on data retrieved from the UN 2720 Mechanism dashboard at 19:00 on 25 November. About 52 per cent of these pallets contained food supplies, followed by shelter (37 per cent), health supplies (6 per cent), water sanitation and hygiene supplies (4 per cent), and operations, logistics and communication items (1 per cent). At least 152 truckloads were offloaded in Kerem Shalom and 6 truckloads in Kissufim.

On 24 November, UNOPS international monitors deployed at Gaza’s crossings observed the collection of 3,090 pallets of aid – 2,001 from Kerem Shalom and 1,089 from Zikim. These comprised 1,940 pallets of food supplies, including parcels, fortified biscuits, canned and dry food and flour; 652 pallets of winter clothes; 417 pallets of tarpaulins, blankets and jerry cans, 61 of bedding items, 13 of wood pellets, and 7 of diapers.

Overall, between 10 October when the ceasefire entered into effect and 24 November, at least 109,530 pallets of aid cargo were offloaded, and 95,372 pallets collected, from the different crossings, while 1,838 pallets (three per cent of uplifted) were intercepted during transit in Gaza.

All the above data excludes bilateral donations and the commercial sector.

As of 25 November, the Kerem Shalom, Zikim, and Kissufim crossings remained operational, with humanitarian cargo offloading and uplifting alternating days between Zikim and Kissufim.

HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE

Health

On 24 November, WHO facilitated the medical evacuation of 33 patients, alongside their 109 companions, from the Gaza Strip to receive necessary treatment abroad.

Food Security

In three days between 21 and 23 November, partners assisted more than 62,000 households with monthly food parcels via 59 distribution points across Gaza. Overall, since the start of November, over 186,000 families have been reached with general food parcel distributions as part of the monthly assistance cycle. The Food Security Sector is working to strengthen coordination with bilateral aid actors that bring in supplies outside of the UN-coordinated mechanism.
As of 22 November, 1,556,000 meals were being produced daily by 28 partners through 206 kitchens: 307,000 in northern Gaza and 1,249,000 in the south. This represents an over 136 per cent increase in overall meal production compared to late September.
Between 15 October and 23 November, about 800 metric tons of concentrated animal fodder was collected from the crossings. The distribution of three 50-kg bags of fodder to around 1,700 herders in Deir al Balah has already been completed.

Education

On 23 November, four learning spaces, two in eastern Gaza City and two in Khan Younis, were equipped with 1,000-litre water storage tanks to enhance basic services. This support is part of ongoing efforts to improve conditions ahead of reopening the spaces for in-person learning.

Nutrition

In recent days, the Cluster conducted a mass malnutrition screening of over 7,930 children across Gaza. Among those screened, 575 children were identified with acute malnutrition, including 128 with the severe form. The prevalence of malnutrition ranged from 9.6 per cent in Gaza city to 8.8 per cent in Deir al Balah and 4.6 per cent in Khan Younis. Children identified with acute malnutrition have been referred to functioning treatment sites.

Protection

Between 22 and 24 November, partners reported the distribution of 766 clothing parcels in northern Gaza, while in Deir al Balah and Khan Younis, partners reached 7,508 people with Psychological First Aid (PFA), family support, legal consultations, child protection activities, community outreach sessions, group sessions, protection and outreach services, referrals, and distribution of dignity kits, food parcels, hygiene kits, and tarpaulins. Ninety-three vulnerable people also received Cash for Protection assistance via SMS redemption codes as part of individual protection assistance and protection case management services.
Cluster partners monitoring included risk of flooded displacement sites, reduced safe access, weather-related disruption of activities, unstable shelter and displacement among beneficiaries and staff, unsafe or blocked routes, and safety-related access restrictions in contaminated or insecure areas.
Child Protection
- Between 23 and 24 November, more than 1,500 children and caregivers were reached through case management, mental health and psychosocial support services (MHPSS), recreational activities, PFA sessions, positive parenting, community initiatives, counselling, life skills sessions, child protection awareness, and safe-space programming in the Al-Wahedi, Al-Saraya, and Al-Yarmouk Camps, in Gaza city.
- During the same period, 91 children at risk were newly registered for case management and supported with tailored assistance. Moreover, 81 personal care kits and 8 medical eye glasses were provided to children with specific needs, alongside referrals to physiotherapy, speech therapy, and psychosocial services. A total of 113 children were referred for shelter and non-food item support.
- Between 19 and 29 November, partners distributed 270 identification bracelets to support family tracing. Protection risks remain high due to unsafe shelters, explosive hazard contamination, child labour, and poor education access, with recent child injuries reported in Al-Najat and Al-Rowad Camps in Khan Younis. Gaza city and the northern areas continue to face major service interruptions, while community feedback highlights growing fear linked to collapsing shelters, exposure to cold winter weather, and worsening living conditions.
Gender-Based Violence (GBV)
- Between 19 and 21 November, GBV partners continued delivering essential case management, psychosocial, and legal support for women and girls across the Strip. More than 5,600 women and girls accessed services through women and girls’ safe spaces (WGSS) and outreach activities across the Strip, which included structured group counselling session, GBV awareness, yoga, life-skills and PFA.
- During the same period, legal services continued through three workshops for 30 women, alongside 34 individual legal consultations delivered through centers and hotlines. Legal requests focused on personal status issues such as marriage, divorce, custody, guardianship, and documentation.
- Material assistance also remained a key component of protection support. Partners distributed 282 dignity kits, 317 menstrual hygiene management kits, and 1,254 food parcels to women and girls. Four tents were provided to vulnerable families through case management referrals.
Mine Action
- On 25 November, eight explosive hazard assessments were completed to identify and map contamination for safe access and clearance planning.
- Explosive ordnance risk education also continued through five partners in Deir al-Balah, Khan Younis, and Gaza city, to raise awareness and promote safe behavior.

Shelter

Between 23 and 24 November, cluster partners distributed 4,158 tarpaulin sheets to 1,386 households in Khan Younis and Deir al Balah.
On 24 November, partners reported the distribution of 500 tents across three displacement sites in Khan Younis, targeting vulnerable households without shelter or with very deteriorated tents. Moreover, partners distributed 4,158 tarpaulin sheets to 1,386 households, kitchen sets and ropes to 973 families, and 632 blankets to 158 households in Khan Younis and Deir al Balah.

Site Management Cluster

Site Management partners continue to focus on flood mitigation measures and updating demographics data for those displacement sites in which they work.
