All information updated for 24 – 30 November 2025
Days 777 – 783 since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip
Highlights:
The Gaza Strip
- The Ministry of Health (MoH) reported, according to?, that since the ceasefire, 347 Palestinians have been ?killed, 889 injured and 596 bodies have been retrieved from under the rubble.
- On 24 November 2025, an Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA school-turned-shelter in Jabalia camp was reportedly impacted due to a quadcopter strike by Israeli forces. No casualties were reported, although the facility sustained minor damage.
- Describing severe destruction and the struggle facing women, especially the more than 57,000 who now head their households, amid high prices and lack of income,??reported that women are facing hunger, fear, repeated displacement and winter conditions in makeshift shelters that offer little protection.
- According to the Shelter Cluster, collective efforts to prepare for the winter season are under strain due to new winter storms, driving a cycle of renewed emergency needs. Most people in Gaza continue to reside in a range of inadequate shelter types that fail to meet basic emergency standards, including tents, makeshift tents, and partially or heavily damaged buildings.
- Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA is continuing to respond to flooding impacts across 32 Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA schools-turned-shelters, mostly in Middle Area and Khan Younis (27). First response operations are in progress, including water removal from flooded yards and clearance of blocked manholes and drainage collectors, in addition to repairs to damaged tents and distribution of tarpaulins to affected families. Efforts remain focused on closing outstanding gaps to ensure safe and adequate shelter conditions.
- Amid immense humanitarian needs, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA operations continue to face severe challenges, including restrictions on bringing aid and vital supplies directly into the Gaza Strip. Despite these constraints, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA is scaling up its response, including in education and health sector. Over 50,000 students are now engaged in in-person learning activities across all areas of Gaza. Health services have been significantly expanded in the north, with five active medical facilities in Gaza City and North Area, providing primary healthcare to around 1,800 patients daily. On 30 November, the Muawiya health centre in Mawasi reopened, strengthening access to essential care in the area.
- The joint catch-up immunization campaign reached 15,895 children in November (the first of three phases), with MoH and PRCS, and with support of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµICEF and WHO. As part of this joint effort, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA teams vaccinated 4,624 children (29 per cent of the total). Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA participated with 32 teams out of 141 teams in total (22.6 per cent of the medical workforce involved).
The West Bank including East Jerusalem
- On 26 November, Israeli Forces launched a large-scale operation in Tubas governorate, so-called operation ¡®Five Stones¡¯. The operation has to date included the use of advanced weaponry and war-like tactics, with Israeli Forces entering El Far¡¯a Camp early on 28 November.
- A new demolition order was issued by Israeli Forces against Jenin Camp on 25 November. This marks the latest in a series of demolitions rendering parts of the de-populated camp uninhabitable.
Key points
The Gaza Strip
Fatalities and Injuries
- Between 7 October 2023 and 26 November 2025, according to the MoH in Gaza, as stated by??almost 70,000 Palestinians have been reportedly killed in the Gaza Strip and another 170,965 have been injured.
- Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA recorded 381 colleagues killed in Gaza since the war began (308 Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA personnel, in addition to 73 persons who were supporting Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA activities), as of 30 November 2025.
Health crisis
- According to the Health Cluster, Acute Respiratory Infections remain the most frequently reported conditions, accounting for 68 per cent of all reported cases in 2025. Moreover, overcrowding due to displacement across the Gaza Strip, a collapse of water and sanitation systems and the resulting spread of infectious diseases have triggered an uptick of Guillain-Barr¨¦ Syndrome cases, according to the?. Acute Watery Diarrhoea, and Acute Jaundice Syndrome (which can be caused by Hepatitis A), are also on the rise.
Education crisis
- According to a??which relies on satellite imagery collected on 11 October, about 93 per cent of school buildings in the Gaza Strip (526 out of 564) were directly hit or damaged and are estimated to require either full reconstruction or major rehabilitation work to be functional again. Without reconstruction or the ability to establish new learning spaces, education cannot resume at scale in Gaza.
Displacement, Site management
- Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA continues monitoring movement of displaced persons and displacement sites. As of 27 November, nearly 77,000 displaced people were estimated to be living in 85 shelters managed by Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA staff and the surrounding areas.
- Following more rains and subsequent flooding in Gaza on 25 November, the Site Management Cluster carried out rapid assessments in Designated Emergency Shelters across the Gaza Strip, as reported by?.
- Currently,?116?Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA facilities?are located within the Israeli militarised zone and coordinated zone.
Operational implications and humanitarian response
- Around 12,000 Palestinian Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA personnel in Gaza continue to provide services and assistance to an entire population in need. In the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA continues to play a central role with over 4,000 Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA Palestinian personnel providing education, health, and other services to Palestine Refugees.
- All Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA international staff are prevented from entering the occupied Palestinian territory (the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem). This follows the implementation by Israel of laws passed by the Israeli parliament (the Knesset) on 28 October 2024?that purport to prohibit Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA¡¯s operations in areas that Israel considers its sovereign territory, including occupied East Jerusalem, and seek to bar any contact by Israeli officials with Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA.?The Israeli Authorities have not granted the Agency¡¯s international staff visas or permits to enter the occupied Palestinian territory, including Gaza, since the end of January 2025.
- The Israeli Authorities continue to block Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA from directly bringing humanitarian personnel and aid into the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, pre-positioned outside Gaza, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA has enough food parcels for 1.1 million people, flour for 2.1 million individuals, and shelter supplies for up to 1.3 million people.
The occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem
According to?, between 7 October 2023 and 24 November 2025, 1,030 Palestinians ¨C among them at least 223 children ¨C were killed in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Of those, 224 Palestinians, including at least 50 children, were killed since the beginning of this year alone.
- On 26 November, Israeli Forces launched so-called operation ¡®Five Stones¡¯ in Tubas governorate in the northern West Bank, which includes El Far¡¯a Camp, home to approximately 11,000 Palestine Refugees. The operation, which is anticipated to be protracted and broad in scale, has to date included the deployment of advanced weaponry including extensive drone use and reported helicopter aerial strikes, as well as the imposition of movement restrictions.
- A demolition order for buildings in Jenin Camp was issued by Israeli Forces on 25 November, with execution set on 28 November. This marks the latest Israeli Forces demolition order affecting Jenin Camp during operation ¡®Iron Wall¡¯, which has been ongoing since 21 January 2025 and has resulted in the forced displacement of the entire camp population, alongside those of Nur Shams and Tulkarm camps. In a statement, the Director of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA Affairs in the West Bank? the camps must be rebuilt, not further destroyed.
