OCHA: Medical teams in Gaza urgently need protection and reinforcement
“Medical teams in Gaza are also exhausted and urgently need protection and reinforcement from ongoing strikes across the Strip,” the UN aid coordination office, OCHA, said on Wednesday.

News Center- No aid has reached the Gaza Strip for more than three weeks, since the Israeli army resumed its attacks on the enclave on March 18, 2025.
On Thursday, Israeli forces launched a series of airstrikes on various areas of the Gaza Strip, killing ten civilians and injuring others.
‘The lack of safe water is worsening living conditions’
“Restrictions have made it near impossible to restore a functioning water system. The lack of safe water is worsening living conditions and people's health,” the Doctors Without Borders (French: Médecins Sans Frontières, MSF) said in a post on social media account X on Wednesday.
Over 140,000 people displaced
More than 142,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced since Israel resumed its war on Gaza on March 18, according to the UN aid coordination office, OCHA.
“It has now been three and a half weeks since Israel imposed a complete blockade on all aid into Gaza, despite daily efforts by UN humanitarians to secure fresh access,” OCHA said on Wednesday.
“As supplies of food, medicine and other supplies run low, aid teams are increasingly concerned about growing anxiety in bread lines outside the enclave’s remaining bakeries.”
Although humanitarian organizations attempted to coordinate access with Israeli authorities within Gaza, “Five out of seven such attempts were denied on Monday and six out of nine were rejected on Tuesday,” OCHA said in a social media post.
Medical teams in Gaza are also exhausted “and urgently need protection and reinforcement” from ongoing strikes across the Strip, the UN aid coordination office said on Wednesday.
