Daily digest: occupied Palestinian territory

2026-10-07

Children in Gaza continue to face violence, displacement, and educational disruption three years after the October 2023 attacks.

Key developments

The October 2023 attacks continue to impact children across Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territory, leading to ongoing violence and displacement. Over 46,500 children had their education interrupted in 2026 due to the closure of learning spaces. The Food and Agriculture Organization is calling for urgent investment to protect food production in the Near East and North Africa, including the occupied Palestinian territory.

Key concerns

More than 45 million people, including those in Gaza, face severe hunger across the Near East and North Africa due to conflict, displacement, and climate pressures. Humanitarian funding remains well below requirements, with only 67% of the necessary funds secured.

Humanitarian impact

Approximately 771,200 pre-school and school-aged children in Gaza require education support for the 2026/2027 school year. The ongoing crisis contributes to high levels of acute food insecurity.
