United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) situation report documenting conditions in Gaza in mid-January 2026, the third consecutive winter in which Gaza's population faces displacement and overcrowding. More than 100 children have been killed in Gaza since the start of the October 2025 ceasefire. UNRWA ran out of food at the end of April 2025 and has been blocked by Israeli authorities from bringing humanitarian assistance into Gaza since March 2, 2025. Cases of acute jaundice syndrome are increasing. Only half of hospitals and fewer than half of primary health care centers are currently partially functional. UNRWA has recorded 382 colleagues killed in Gaza since the start of the War on Gaza. A key source for researchers documenting humanitarian conditions in the early October 2025 ceasefire period, with critical data on child casualties since the ceasefire, the ongoing UNRWA food blockade, disease surveillance, and health system functionality. This source is valuable for researchers and humanitarian practitioners tracking post-ceasefire conditions in Gaza, and is particularly useful for anyone studying child casualties, the UNRWA aid blockade, and public health surveillance during the ceasefire period.
