On its official website, the UN quoted Olga Cherevko, spokesperson for the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, who asserted that Israeli attacks continue and the lives of Palestinians remain marked by displacement, trauma, uncertainty, and deprivation.

Cherevko also noted that the situation is exacerbated by severe winter storms causing landslides and deaths from hypothermia.

Since the ceasefire declaration, humanitarian workers have delivered more than 165,000 metric tons of aid to Gaza.

They have also repaired roads, rehabilitated hospitals, cleared debris, and reopened aid distribution points, she indicated.

However, this progress remains fragile and could be reversed overnight as airstrikes, bombings, and armed clashes continue, with civilian casualties reported daily.

Most of Gaza is in ruins, and the needs far exceed our efforts to meet them, he added.

He also explained that the impediments and restrictions imposed on organizations and the entry of supplies mean that only temporary and incomplete solutions can be achieved.
