United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) semiweekly situation report on Gaza covering January 2026-February 5, 2026, documenting persistent water shortages despite the reopening of the Gaza City Mekorot supply line from Israel, which continues to face severe flow problems. At least 283,133 pallets of humanitarian cargo were offloaded since the October 2025 ceasefire through February 5, 2026. Since the ceasefire, 101 classrooms benefited from light rehabilitation works, and the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) distributed 1,033,180 litres of diesel to humanitarian partners. 13% of UN coordinated humanitarian missions were denied outright by Israeli authorities during the reporting period. An important reference for researchers tracking the specifics of aid delivery, water supply, and humanitarian mission restrictions during the ceasefire, with granular weekly data on pallets, diesel, classroom rehabilitation, and mission denial rates.
