What happened?

A report dated October 25, 2025, highlighted the continued difficulties in delivering aid in sustainable quantities despite the ceasefire, and called for enabling humanitarian agencies to provide their services.

Impact of the incident on civilians

Displaced persons’ shelter, education and health services need consistent supplies and clear procedures at border crossings to avoid disruptions.

The right of the population to relief

The right to food and water is linked to the right to life and health. International humanitarian law prohibits the starvation of civilians as a method of warfare and requires respect for the rules governing humanitarian access and the protection of aid workers and beneficiaries.

What is needed to protect the population?

These developments necessitate careful monitoring of the facts related to the issue of “demands to ensure the entry of aid into Gaza and support for UNRWA services,” making information available to affected families, providing means of treatment, relief or redress according to the nature of the harm, and distinguishing between proven information and the legal characterization that requires a competent investigation.
