UNRWA has expanded by 40 per cent its provision of domestic water supply in Gaza City and the northern area, thanks to the rehabilitation of water well no. 3 in Jabalia (repaired on 5 November).

Over a month into the ceasefire, WFP delivered more than 30,000 mt of food in Gaza and rapidly scaled up operations. However, during the reporting period, shortages of some commodities due to access constraints, including de-prioritization of humanitarian cargo at crossings, customs clearance delays, corridor suspensions, and the continued lack of access to northern crossings, led to temporary suspensions at several distribution sites, resulting in roughly 20 percent reduction in volumes.
