The UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process (UNSCO) released a report highlighting severe humanitarian, economic, social, and political challenges, urging immediate action for Gaza's recovery and West Bank stabilization. Separately, Baitulmaal addressed global health leaders at UNGA81 regarding preventable maternal and newborn deaths. The Protection Cluster also released findings on safeguarding practices at aid distribution points in the Gaza Strip.

Protection concerns at aid distribution points in Gaza highlight the need for safe, dignified, and accountable assistance. Funding for the humanitarian response remains well below requirements, with only 67% of the necessary amount secured.

The humanitarian situation in the occupied Palestinian territory is severe, with ongoing challenges in health, protection, and basic services. Preventable maternal and newborn deaths are a particular concern in fragile settings.

Specific details on the types of protection concerns identified at aid distribution points are not yet covered in recent reporting.
