Highlights
The Gaza Strip
Humanitarian partners warned of major gaps ahead of the 2026-2027 winter preparation phase, driven by severe funding shortfalls and continued restrictions on the entry of critical supplies and equipment into the Gaza Strip. UNRWA continues to play a central role in the response, co-leading the Site Management Cluster and running the largest network of collective displacement sites – currently hosting approximately 65,000 internally displaced persons across 114 emergency shelters.
As part of efforts to streamline and strengthen primary healthcare delivery, UNRWA integrated services previously provided through four medical points located within emergency shelters into nearby health centres. The Agency also continues piloting the Family Health Team model in three health centres across the Gaza Strip, whereby the same medical specialists are assigned to a family throughout its medical history, to improve service quality, efficiency, continuity, and patient-centred care.
UNRWA’s Summer Activities Programme concluded on 3 September 2026. Over 47,700 children participated in recreational and psychosocial support activities, as well as in remedial classes in literacy, numeracy, and foundational English and science skills. The summer learning activities were delivered in-person across 686 classrooms in 83 UNRWA collective emergency shelters, with support from over 3,000 UNRWA education staff.
The occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem
Following the forced entry into Kalandia Training Centre on 25 August 2026, Israeli authorities have remained on site inside the compound. The centre was due to start classes this week for more than 340 Palestine Refugee students from across the occupied West Bank.
Approximately 48,000 Palestine Refugee students started the new academic year at 90 UNRWA schools across the occupied West Bank on 7 September, amid challenges to their right to education, including movement and access restrictions, security operations in and around schools, and high levels of occupation-related violence.
Three Palestinians were killed in incidents linked to Israeli settler violence, as the occupied West Bank continues to experience heightened levels of violence and harassment perpetrated by Israeli settlers. Settlement expansion – contrary to international law – also continued, with a new settlement established near Qabatiya on 31 August.
