Highlights:

The Gaza Strip

  • Israeli forces continued high-intensity military activities west of the Yellow Line, conducting multiple air and drone strikes targeting infrastructure, assets, and personnel suspected of links to the de facto authorities, with multiple civilian casualties reported. Israeli forces reportedly advanced across multiple areas, further shrinking humanitarian space across the Gaza Strip.
  • Multiple crossings experienced temporary closures following the escalation in regional tension, significantly slowing down the delivery of critical supplies into Gaza.
  • The WASH Cluster has developed a coordinated rodent control plan, implemented with support from Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDP, WHO, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµICEF, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA and other partners, and in close coordination with the Ministry of Health. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA contributes to joint risk assessment, coordination, and surveillance with WHO, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDP and the Ministry of Health, and implements targeted pest control in high-risk displacement sites and installations, large-scale waste removal, hygiene promotion and community outreach near its displacement sites.
  • Severe shortages of engine oil, tyres, and spare parts are placing life-saving humanitarian operations at risk across the Gaza Strip. Health services are particularly affected, as most facilities rely on generators that face frequent breakdowns. At the same time, water production, pumping and distribution systems ¡ª alongside wastewater and solid waste management ¡ª are at imminent risk of failure, as they depend almost entirely on ageing generators that are operating beyond design limits. Approximately 25 per cent of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA vehicles ¡ª including water tankers and waste collection trucks ¡ª and 25 per cent of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA generators are already out of service. Without urgent resupply, disruptions to healthcare, safe water access, and waste collection are expected to rapidly escalate public health risks and operational constraints.

Key points:

The Gaza Strip

Fatalities and injuries

  • Between 7 October 2023 and 7 June 2026, according to the Ministry of Health, as reported by??72,980 Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip and another 173,171 injured.
  • Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA has recorded 392 colleagues killed in Gaza since the start of the war (310 Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA personnel, and 82 persons who were supporting Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA), up to 8 June.

Health crisis

  • Reported cases of acute watery diarrhoea (AWD) and acute bloody diarrhoea (ABD) increased during the current reporting week. This rise is likely associated with seasonal summer conditions, in addition to inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) conditions in affected communities. In contrast medical surveillance teams observed a slight decline in the number of reported cases of ectoparasitic skin diseases (like scabies). The decrease in reported cases may reflect the impact of the ongoing campaign for pest and rodent control, conducted by Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA and other WASH partners.

Displacement, site management

  • Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA continues to monitor the movement of displaced persons and displacement sites. A total of 116 Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA collective emergency shelters host 76,000 internally displaced persons and are currently considered active.

Operational implications and humanitarian response

  • Around 11,000 Palestinian Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA personnel continue to provide services and assistance to people in Gaza. In the occupied West Bank, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA also plays a central role with over 4,000 of the Agency¡¯s 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 of laws passed by the Israeli parliament 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.
  • Since March 2025, the Israeli authorities have been blocking Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA from directly bringing humanitarian personnel and aid into the Gaza Strip. Despite the huge needs on the ground, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA was therefore unable to distribute the aid it had pre-positioned outside Gaza, which included enough food parcels, flour, and shelter supplies for hundreds of thousands of people.

The occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem

  • According to?, between 7 October 2023 and 31 May 2026, 1,101 Palestinians ¨C at least 240 of them children ¨C were killed in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Fifty-five of them have been killed since the beginning of 2026.
  • A Palestinian child was shot and killed by Israeli forces in Tel Rumeida area within Hebron on the evening of 5 June, with both parents of the child also injured when Israeli forces opened fire on their vehicle. The Israeli forces have reportedly opened an investigation into the incident.
  • Nine Palestinians were injured in the town of Huwara during an Israeli settler attack on 6 June, the latest in a spate of settler violence incidents across the West Bank. Arson incidents by Israeli settlers took place in Al Mughayyir, Abu Falah, Beitin, Idhna, and elsewhere.
  • Missile debris and interceptor shrapnel associated with the latest escalation in the Iran¨CIsrael conflict landed in various areas of the occupied West Bank on 8 June, including Beit Jala and Surif.

1.1. Humanitarian access and armed conflict-related incidents5

  • From 2 to 8 June, two significant armed incidents impacted Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA facilities, personnel and persons supporting Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA¡¯s activities:

The summary figures will be published/updated as information becomes available, noting that these numbers are subject to change once verifications are concluded.?
