The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that more than 376,000 Palestinians have returned to northern Gaza following Israeli withdrawals from key roads in the Netzarim Corridor.
The ceasefire has allowed increased humanitarian aid access, but the region faces severe infrastructure damage. OCHA warned that restoring water and sanitation systems is critical, and clearing over 50 million tons of debris could take up to 20 years.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that 55,998 people have been killed and 131,599 injured in Gaza since Israel’s attacks began on October 7, 2023.
In the past 24 hours alone, 39 deaths and 317 injuries were recorded, with many civilians still trapped under rubble. The ministry also stated that 17 Palestinians were killed and 136 wounded during Israeli attacks on humanitarian aid distribution, bringing the total aid-related death toll to 467 and injuries to 3,602.
Since Israel’s ceasefire violation on March 18, 2025, 5,685 have died and 19,518 have been injured.
