United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) weekly situation report on Gaza covering through February 11, 2026, with the Mekorot water supply line to Gaza City fully shut down since February 10, 2026, due to 2 identified leaks. The Rafah Crossing reopened in early February 2026 for limited people movement, with 269 people returning to Gaza and 108 patients medically evacuated with 165 companions. Since the ceasefire, more than 694,000 out of 833,000 total population movements have been from southern to northern Gaza, driven mostly by desire for family reunification. 20 Palestinians were killed during the reporting period. Recommended for researchers tracking specifics of population return, Rafah Crossing operations, and water supply conditions during the ceasefire, providing a granular weekly snapshot of both humanitarian progress and persistent constraints.
