“Nearly 42,000 people in #Gaza have life-changing injuries because of the war, according to @‌WHO. One in four is a child. 

 

Gaza now hosts the largest group of child amputees in modern history. 

 

With the collapse of the medical system during the war, those with serious injuries struggle to get the treatment + rehabilitation they need to rebuild their lives. 

 

UNRWA teams together with WHO & partners are sparing no efforts to make sure they are not left behind. 

 

Since the war began, they have provided essential psychosocial support to more than 30,000 persons with disabilities, with over 8,000 of them receiving assistive devices + rehabilitation services.

"I experienced hunger, I experienced bombing and shelling, and I have experienced exile and loss because I am Palestinian, because I am from Gaza, all I did was I was born in Gaza. Gaza is a small place that is very beautiful, it has a lovely sea, and lovely weather, not like the weather here. There is sun, and no wind. I am here today to tell you how Gaza is beautiful and how people there are very nice, and all the children love to play and they love to go to school and they love to be children like other children. I am here to tell you about Palestine, our culture, our traditions, and that we love life, we don’t like destruction and that we don’t deserve what we have lived through and continue to live through.”" Renad from Gaza

During my participation in the International Day of Solidarity with Palestine at the Palestinian embassy in The Hague, I shared with the world part of my story and how I became not a child anymore.

This is part of my speech:

“Today, I am here without my family, without my mum, not in my home country. The only thing I have is my voice and this is the only reason why my mother allowed e to leave, when we got the opportunity to leave Gaza, she let me leave because she knew my voice will be the voice of people living in Gaza who are without food, without water, without shelter, and who are now living in tents in the piercing cold.

I experienced hunger, I experienced bombing and shelling, and I have experienced exile and loss because I am Palestinian, because I am from Gaza, all I did was I was born in Gaza.

Gaza has become the place with the largest populations of child amputees in modern history [BECAUSE of ISRAELI VIOLENCE & ZIONIST CRUELTY !]

Hundreds of thousands of [PALESTINIAN] homes [IN GAZA] have been destroyed or severely damaged [BY ISRAEL], leaving [PALESTINIAN] families exposed to winter storms. Fragile tents collapse under rain and wind, while Israel’s genocide continues and the destruction of [PALESTINIAN] homes goes on

After the ceasefire, why can’t most Gazans return home? 

 

Around two months into the ceasefire agreement, the majority remain displaced.

Palestine Refugees remain refugees because of the absence of a political solution. They are no exception. Other refugees across the world have also been waiting decades for a lasting political solution to their plight. Dismantling UNRWA will not address the refugee status of Palestinians.

3 December 2025 Humanitarian Aid

The UN has called for an investigation into the recent “horrific” killing by Israeli forces of two young brothers in Gaza who were reportedly targeted by a drone while collecting firewood. 

This comes as humanitarians continue to receive reports that air strikes, shelling, gunfire and other continuing Israeli military operations in the enclave are causing more civilian casualties, displacement and destruction.

In recent days, hundreds of families were reportedly displaced in two neighbourhoods in eastern Gaza City following strikes and movement of military equipment, UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric told journalists in New York on Wednesday.

Investigation and accountability

He was asked about the killing of the boys, which occurred on Saturday.  

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) acknowledged the strike in a post on social media, saying troops had identified two terrorists crossing the ‘yellow line’ in northern Gaza, thus posing an immediate threat to them.

The incident was “horrific, to say the least,” Mr. Dujarric said. 

“It's hard to see how two boys, eight and 10, can be considered a threat. And there needs to be an investigation and accountability into what happened.”

Health sector support in Rafah

Across Gaza, the UN and partners continue to aid people in need, wherever access is available, and six additional healthcare service points have opened since Sunday.

“Yesterday in Rafah, a team from the World Health Organization (WHO) also managed to reach the European Hospital, which remains non-operational, to move some vital equipment to functioning healthcare facilities,” he said.

However, the Israeli security authorities continue to deny attempts to gain access to Kamal Adwan Hospital in North Gaza.

WHO also facilitated the referral and transfer of the first patient to the Emirati Field Hospital since before the Rafah incursion last year, which had rendered the facility inaccessible. It is the only functioning medical facility serving the Rafah area.

Winter supplies for vulnerable households

Meanwhile, preparations for winter are a key priority, Mr. Dujarric said, and the UN and partners continue to deliver shelter supplies and other critical items to the most vulnerable households. 

“Since Sunday, some 4,400 families received tents, tarpaulins, blankets, winter clothing and kitchen sets across Gaza through UN-coordinated deliveries,” he said.

“In addition, our partners managing displacement sites report that work is ongoing to help prepare suitable locations for those seeking to leave high-risk areas, including shoreline communities.”

Moving to safety

Humanitarians report that in Khan Younis, an estimated 4,000 households live along the coast, and around 1,000 are at especially high risk due to their proximity to the water line. 

Some of these families have reportedly started to relocate to the two sites deemed safe by the local municipality

Efforts to improve water and sanitation access also continue.  Partners report that 42 truckloads of debris have been cleared over the past 48 hours to reach three wells in Beit Lahiya, North Gaza, and repairs are expected to begin soon.

In the meantime, unexploded remnants of war continue to pose a deadly threat to civilians. Over the past week, partners working in the sector were able to carry out 50 assessments across Gaza to help lower the risks for aid workers. 

Six people were reportedly killed last week, and 10 others injured, in two incidents involving explosive ordnance in Gaza City and Deir Al-Balah.

Crackdown on Palestinian civil society: Union of Agricultural Work Committees raided

On Monday, 1 December, Israeli security forces raided and vandalised the offices of the Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC), a Palestinian non-governmental organisation, in Ramallah and Hebron. This comes amidst an escalating Israeli targeting of Palestinian civil society and human rights defenders, most recently in the context of the olive harvest season.

UAWC is one of six leading Palestinian civil society organisations designated as “terrorist” by Israeli authorities in 2021 based on an Israeli legislation that has vague and broad definitions of terrorism and terrorist organisations, which not only risks but has demonstrably led to unjustifiable restrictions on human rights. To date, no evidence was provided to substantiate the accusations. Licensed under Palestinian law, UAWC has long provided support to Palestinian rural communities and Palestinian farmers facing settler violence and the risk of forced displacement. The attack on UAWC followed weeks of harassment and public incitement by Israeli settlers and leaders of settler groups, particularly citing UAWC’s work during the olive harvest season.

This year’s olive harvest season is the most violent on record, with 167 settler attacks affecting 87 Palestinian communities recorded as of 12 November. Increasingly, attacks by settlers and Israeli security forces targeted not only farmers, but also human rights defenders and organisations supporting them against settler violence. Since 1 October, the UN Human Rights Office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory has recorded 81 violations by Israeli security forces and/or settlers against human rights defenders, protective presence activists and NGOs supporting Palestinians against settler violence and settlement expansion, including 48 cases of arrest and detention and 22 acts of physical assault.

Unnecessary or disproportionate use of force, arbitrary detention, and torture or other forms of ill-treatment are permanent features in the conduct of Israeli security forces against Palestinians and Palestinian activists. During the raid, Israeli security forces reportedly kept the people who were present at UAWC premises blindfolded and handcuffed, kneeling down, or with their faces down on the floor for several hours and detained eight men.

The conduct of Israeli settlers and Israeli security forces in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, is massively shrinking both the physical and the civic space available to Palestinians, while Israel continues to advance its unlawful annexation of the occupied West Bank.

“The legal way forward is clear: Israel must end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and remove all settlers in accordance with the conclusions of the International Court of Justice,” said Ajith Sunghay, the Head of the UN Human Rights Office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. “In the meantime, Israel is an occupying power with extensive duties under international law, including respecting, protecting and ensuring the fulfilment of Palestinians’ human rights, such as the rights to earn a living, and to freedom of expression and association.”
