New York, May 18 (Petra) – Conditions in Gaza remained extremely dire
with most of the people displaced and facing health and environmental
risks, as well as continued Israeli attacks on residential areas, the
United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
(OCHA) warned on Monday.
Only one in two trucks transporting aid from Egypt to Gaza managed to
unload its cargo at the Israeli-controlled crossings on the Gaza
border during the first 10 days of May, it said in its daily report.
According to World Health Organization estimates, more than 43,000
people in Gaza have suffered life-altering injuries, while
rehabilitation services remained overwhelmed.
In the West Bank, 45 Palestinian-owned buildings were demolished by
Israeli forces between May 5 and 11, the office said, pointing to a
sharp increase in settler violence, with a monthly average of
incidents resulting in casualties or property damage rising 14-fold
since 2020.
