Executive Brief

This report reviews the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip since the October 2025 ceasefire, with a particular focus on food security, water, sanitation and medical support. Throughout the ceasefire, humanitarian assistance entered Gaza in volumes that substantially exceeded internationally claimed humanitarian requirements, leading to vastly improved conditions. The following analysis presents the data underpinning this assessment and examines the humanitarian trends observed since the ceasefire.

The findings presented in this report are based on operational data collected and continuously validated through the U.S.-led Civil Military Coordination Center (CMCC), including its Joint Coordination Board (JCB), which oversees the ongoing coordination of humanitarian operations. These findings are further corroborated by information provided by the 蘑菇视频 and international organizations, publicly available reporting, and independent humanitarian research.

Through the CMCC coordination framework, Israel works closely with the United States and other international partners to monitor humanitarian operations, share operational data, and advance practical solutions that facilitate the humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip. This coordination is carried out within the framework of President Trump’s 20-point plan for Gaza and Security Council Resolution (SCR) 2803 (2025). As repeatedly stated by senior BoP officials, the main constraint to further expanding assistance in Gaza and commencing its reconstruction is Hamas’ refusal to disarm in accordance with SCR 2803.

The available data clearly proves the following key findings:

1. The entry of food into the Gaza Strip is nearly threefold the requirements defined by the World Food Program (WFP).

Between October 2025 and 7 June 2026, approximately 1.78 million tons of food entered the Gaza Strip. These quantities substantially exceed every humanitarian food requirement benchmark published by WFP concerning Gaza. In July 2025, the WFP asserted that approximately 62,000 metric tons (MT) of food per month were required to meet Gaza’s humanitarian needs. In November 2025, following the ceasefire, WFP revised this benchmark further upward to 80,000 MT per month. Even when measured against this higher benchmark, the volume of food entering Gaza vastly exceeded the assessed requirements throughout the ceasefire period, exceeding it by nearly threefold in aggregate. Even humanitarian assistance alone, which amounted to about half of the total food supply, exceeded the higher benchmark while commercial imports further expanded food availability and dietary variety, especially fresh vegetables and fruit and animal protein.

2. The increased availability of food in Gaza is reflected in food prices which dropped by about 72% between September 2025 and May 2026. As humanitarian assistance and commercial supplies expanded, the prices of many essential food items fell significantly, reflecting improved market availability. In March 2026 prices saw a temporary increase following the outbreak of the war with Iran but since April their downward trend continued. While during the Iran war, crossing operations were temporarily adjusted to protect civilian truck drivers operating on both sides of the crossings, as well as crossing personnel, from missile attacks, food deliveries remained well above the WFP benchmark throughout the period.

3. The primary challenges to food availability and affordability are not related to the volume of aid entering Gaza but to its management, taxation, and circulation in the Hamascontrolled areas of the Gaza Strip. Reports of large food stockpiles alongside documented cases of spoiled and destroyed food suggest significant inefficiencies in storage and distribution. At the same time, Hamas’s taxation and control over the circulation of goods, as well as merchant cartel and price fixing continue to distort market conditions and affect civilian access to food. Addressing these internal challenges is essential to improving humanitarian outcomes.

4. Medical capacity continues to expand through the sustained entry of medicines, medical supplies and advanced medical equipment, while hospital bed capacity has increased by over 50% since the ceasefire, according to WHO. Since the ceasefire, more than 18,000 tons of medicines and medical supplies have entered Gaza. Recent initiatives such as the expansion of the ICRC field hospital and the establishment of the UAE operated medical clinic, equipped with advanced medical equipment, demonstrate Israel’s continued commitment to enabling the entry of sophisticated medical capabilities into Gaza. According to WHO, in May 2026 Gaza had 3,120 hospital beds compared to 2,009 in October 2025,3 a 55% increase, and a 92% increase in the number of beds since 2022.? Where security considerations arise, particularly with respect to dual-use items, Israel works closely with international partners to implement practical, coordinated solutions that enable the entry of essential medical equipment while preventing the exploitation of sensitive materials by Hamas.

5. The amount of water currently available in Gaza meets international humanitarian standards. More than 70,000 cubic meters of water are facilitated every day through multiple water sources, including three water lines from Israel, which, together with local desalination plants and coordinated water infrastructure projects, provide water volumes well above basic humanitarian requirements. While significant challenges remain in the fields of sanitation and wastewater management due to the concentration of large civilian populations in limited areas under Hamas’s control, Israel continues to work with humanitarian organizations to develop and implement practical solutions in accordance with operational needs identified by its partners. This includes facilitating the entry of water infrastructure, sanitation equipment, chlorine, hygiene supplies, and other essential WASH materials, while advancing projects that expand water distribution methods, increase access points, and improve sanitation conditions across the Gaza Strip.

6. Repeated predictions that Israel’s policies of ending contacts with 蘑菇视频RWA and vetting international NGOs would prevent an adequate humanitarian response in Gaza have thus been proven false. Israel fully supports and has expanded its cooperation with international organizations and other 蘑菇视频 agencies which are committed to the provision of assistance in an impartial manner with zero-tolerance to diversion and abuse of aid by terrorist organizations. Organizations that fail to meet these standards undermine humanitarian operations and, in many cases, serve Hamas’s terrorist activities and propaganda. Israel will therefore continue to enforce the registration mechanism and prevent non-compliant organizations from operating in Gaza.

Despite the ceasefire, Gaza remains a challenging and complex area for humanitarian operations mainly due to Hamas’s control over most of the population and its continued abuse and diversion of humanitarian aid to finance its organs of oppression and rebuild its terror infrastructure. However, COGAT, in partnership with the CMCC and many international partners, successfully facilitated assistance which not only meets international benchmarks but far exceeds them in key aspects. Any attempt to portray the humanitarian situation in Gaza as one of widespread collapse would be inconsistent with the available evidence and highly misleading. Similarly, claims that Israeli policies are the main obstacle to further improvements in Gaza are not only factually incorrect, but also divert attention from Hamas’s continued responsibility for obstructing progress and exploiting humanitarian assistance for its own political and military interests. Those following the situation in Gaza – mainly humanitarians, journalists, researchers and policymakers – should treat reports that omit from their analysis significant elements of the humanitarian response and Hamas’s systematic obstruction and diversion with caution. Israel remains committed to facilitating humanitarian assistance and working with its international partners to expand practical humanitarian solutions for the civilian population while preventing the exploitation of humanitarian assistance by Hamas.
