Airstrikes, shelling and gunfire continue to be reported across the Gaza Strip, resulting in casualties. The Israeli military remains deployed in over 50 per cent of the Gaza Strip north, west and south of the “Yellow Line,” where access to humanitarian facilities, public infrastructure, and agricultural land is restricted or prohibited.
According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, between 28 January and 11 February 2026, 109 Palestinians were killed and 252 injured. Since 7 October 2023, the cumulative toll has reached 72,045 fatalities and 171,686 injuries.
On 2 February, limited evacuations resumed through Rafah Crossing for the first time since March 2025. Humanitarian partners are facilitating safe reception and onward referral of patients and returnees.
Between 3 and 16 February 2026, Israeli forces killed three Palestinians in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Another 137 Palestinians were injured, including 11 children.
Movement restrictions, repeated raids and detentions continue to disproportionately impact boys and young men, heightening psychological stress and protection vulnerabilities.
