However, OCHA warned that no food aid convoys have reached the north through direct crossings since September 12.
Despite the dire conditions that persist in northern Gaza, the UN agency said that around 90 percent of the estimated 29,000 people who moved within the Strip over the weekend were traveling from the south to the north.
Trucks and supplies
The UN and its partners collected nearly 200 trucks of essential supplies at Israeli crossings along the perimeter fence surrounding Gaza on Saturday.
Among the supplies were nearly 1,900 metric tons of different food products, wheat flour and more than 100 pallets of food boxes.
The supplies also included more than 1,000 pallets of mattresses, blankets, tents, tarps and winter clothing; 300 pallets full of hygiene kits, buckets, water containers and drums; 50 pallets of enriched cereals; and about 200 pallets of dignity kits, menstrual health kits and midwifery supplies.
On Sunday, according to initial data, UN teams collected almost 1,000 pallets of blankets, tents, hygiene kits, water tanks, mats, winter clothing, tarps and jerry cans, along with a truck full of animal fodder.
“All of this data is preliminary and covers the UN and our partners, but does not include bilateral donations or the commercial sector,” UN deputy spokesman Farhan Haq told reporters in New York on Monday.
Food and nutrition
The UN and its partners are supporting 17 bakeries in Gaza – nine in the south and eight in the north – which produce 150,000 packages of bread every day, according to the latest figures.
“We also support 180 kitchens that serve almost 1,160,000 meals each day,” Mr. Haq continued. “On the nutrition front, we currently support 133 treatment sites, including 20 in Gaza City, where famine was confirmed in August.”
On Saturday and Sunday, teams also delivered 1,000 tarps and 2,500 blankets to people in need.
Since the ceasefire, the United Nations reproductive health agency, UNFPA, has supported some 90,000 women and girls with reproductive health and hygiene supplies.
incubators
This includes the distribution of medical equipment and supplies to 13 health centers across the Strip, including incubators and surgical equipment, Haq said.
UNFPA has also distributed thousands of postpartum and dignity kits to women and girls.
Meanwhile, four schools are being renovated and, over the past three days, the UN and our partners have supported the reopening of five temporary learning spaces in Gaza City.
