At least 50 Palestinian women are held in Damon Prison, including one from Gaza and two girls. They are all subjected to a range of systemic crimes, including repeated strip searches, beatings, systemic theft and deprivation of basic necessities and medical negligence. These inhumane and brutal conditions and the use of systematic incarceration to try breaking dissent, remain widely invisible in the mainstream discourse.

 

That’s why we ask you to support and share influential stories of Palestinian prisoners, including from our Freedom Breakers interview series.

 

In our latest episode, Lana discloses how she confronts both the violence of occupation and the added threat of gender-based violence rooted in patriarchy. This week we invite you to listen to Lana’s testimony, share her story with a friend, and continue speaking out for the freedom of all prisoners.

 

With gratitude,
Sarah

Gaza Humanitarian Response
Situation Report No. 36

2 December 2025
(As of 18:00 on 1 December 2025, unless otherwise noted)

HIGHLIGHTS

  • As of 29 November, Food Security Sector partners supported more than 264,000 families (1,320,000 people) with general food parcel distributions as part of the November monthly assistance cycle, representing 63 per cent of their monthly target.
  • On 30 November, Education Cluster partners installed six high-performance tents of 72 square metres each at two learning spaces in Gaza city to expand access to in-person learning.
  • On 1 December, 18 patients were medically evacuated from the Gaza Strip to Jordan and Türkiye, bringing the total number of patients evacuated abroad to 10,620 since October 2023 and to 235 since the ongoing ceasefire.

SITUATION OVERVIEW

Between 28 and 29 November, a Site Management partner conducted a comprehensive winter risk assessment across all 86 Designated Emergency Shelters (DESs) in the Gaza Strip to identify urgent needs ahead of the cold and rainy season. The analysis revealed a critical shortage of tarpaulins to be used as sealing-off kits, with most DESs lacking window and door shutters, many spaces remaining open, and Temporary Learning Spaces (TLSs) experiencing leaks during rainfall. To ensure adequate protection against rain and cold, an estimated 15,663 tarpaulins are required, covering all rooms, TLSs, and family tents within the DESs. This allocation is based on three tarpaulins per room, two per family tent, and three per TLS, aiming to safeguard displaced families and students from harsh weather conditions.

UNITED NATIONS-COORDINATED AID ENTRY*

On 1 December, at least 3,662 pallets of aid administered by the UN and its partners were offloaded at Gaza’s crossings, based on data retrieved from the UN 2720 Mechanism dashboardat 17:00 on 2 December. About 41 per cent of these pallets contained food supplies, followed by water, sanitation and hygiene items (32 per cent), shelter (22 per cent) and nutrition supplies (5 per cent). At least 130 truckloads were offloaded at Kerem Shalom and 6 at Kissufim crossing.

On 1 December, United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) international monitors deployed at Gaza’s crossings verified the collection of at least 4,610 pallets of aid – 3,518 from Kerem Shalom between 10:27 and 14:59 and 1,092 from Zikim between 08:08 and 12:15. These comprised 3,031 pallets of food supplies, including flour, canned food, lentils, beans, and fortified biscuits, 665 pallets of tarpaulins, 105 pallets of tents, 276 pallets of blankets, 111 pallets of winter clothes, 407 pallets of hygiene kits, and 15 pallets of stretchers.

Overall, between 10 October, when the ceasefire was announced, and 1 December, at least 127,697 pallets of humanitarian cargo were offloaded, and 110,792 pallets were collected from the different crossings. Of the collected cargo, 1,951 pallets (2 per cent) were intercepted during transit within Gaza.

All the above data excludes bilateral donations and the commercial sector.

As of 2 December, the Kerem Shalom, Zikim and Kissufim crossings remained operational, with humanitarian cargo offloading and uplifting alternating days between Zikim and Kissufim.

Between 25 and 30 November, UNOPS collected 19 trucks with 834,490 litres of diesel, and distributed 850,135 litres of diesel to partners - 610,199 litres in the south and 239,936 litres in the north - to support critical WASH, health, food, logistics, rubble removal, education, nutrition, site management, and protection operations.

HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE

 

Health

  • On 1 December, 18 patients were medically evacuated from the Gaza Strip to Jordan and Türkiye, accompanied by 54 companions. This brings the total number of patients evacuated abroad to 10,620, including 5,608 children, since October 2023, while more than 16,000 patients in critical need of treatment unavailable in Gaza remain blocked in the Strip. Meanwhile, a planned field assessment for establishing a primary health care facility at Kamal Adwan Hospital, in northern Gaza, was denied on the same day.

Food Security

  • Between 1 and 29 November, partners distributed monthly food parcels to more than 264,000 families (1,320,000 people) through 59 distribution points across the Strip, including two in northern Gaza and 19 in Gaza city. This represents 63 per cent of all 2.1 million people requiring monthly food assistance in Gaza. Transportation and road conditions have been noted as one of the main challenges for communities and partners in northern Gaza.
  • Cooked meal distribution continues to expand. As of 29 November, 1,582,000 meals were being delivered daily by 28 partners through 213 kitchens: 342,000 in northern Gaza and 1,240,000 in the south.

Water, Sanitations and Hygiene

  • On 30 November, 309 family latrines were installed in eight camps across the Strip, reaching approximately 20,000 people.
  • Sewage network maintenance projects are ongoing in three areas of Deir al Balah and in Gaza city, while rehabilitation of the Southern Well in Khan Younis and of the Al Zarka Water Well in Jabalya, North Gaza, are underway.

Protection

  • Mine Action
    • On 1 December, three Explosive Hazard Assessments (EHAs) were completed in Deir al Balah and Gaza city, in support of rubble removal activities. Mine Action partners, however, continue to face restrictions in conducting the full spectrum of Explosive Ordnance (EOD) activities.
    • Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) activities continue through five partners in Deir al Balah, Khan Younis and Gaza city.

Education

  • On 30 November, Education Cluster partners installed six high-performance tents of 72 square metres each at Dar Al-Arqam and Al-Kamaleya TLSs in Gaza city to expand access to in-person learning. This intervention aims to create safe and functional spaces for students and support the continuation of education in northern Gaza amid severe shortages of learning facilities. Additional alternative learning spaces remain urgently needed, particularly given the ongoing restrictions on the large-scale entry of tents.

Shelter

  • Between 29 and 30 November, shelter partners distributed 186 tents and 265 clothing vouchers to 551 families in the North Gaza and Gaza city governorates; 975 tarpaulins, 5 tents, 556 blankets, 983 clothes kits and 196 kitchen sets to families in need in Deir al Balah and Khan Younis, as well as more than 2,200 tarpaulins to 737 families in the Mawasi area of Rafah. During the same period, Cluster partners received 1,941 tarpaulin sheets into Gaza.

Emergency-Telecommunications Cluster

  • The Emergency Telecommunications Cluster has been conducting telecommunications assessments in Gaza city and North Gaza governorate, focusing on very high frequency coverage using both portable and mobile radios, while also evaluating eSIM roaming data services and analyzing the cost and quality of Wi-Fi internet reseller services.

There is nothing more urgent than imposing a full military embargo on Israel to stop its genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people. And it’s getting real.

 

Over the last year, people power has made it increasingly difficult for Israel to secure its military supplies. Across the Mediterranean, inspiringly determined dock workers and unions have refused to handle complicit vessels, rendering entire ports off limits for the criminal cargo. We have pushed some states to ban vessels from docking at their harbours. Two steel shipments have been stopped from reaching Israel’s military companies.

­

Help us cut off the military supply chain for genocide and apartheid.

 

Every week we learn of more vessels carrying tonnes of military materiel to Israel. Our response: a coordinated network of activists, trade unions, and movement lawyers that can immediately launch #BlocktheBoat actions, simultaneously targeting flag states, shipping companies, insurance companies, ports and governments.

 

The following victories cut shipping companies’ profits and build momentum, sustaining hope in our joint struggle:

You can support us to prevail against genocidal Israel and its partners in crime. Organize. Show meaningful solidarity.

 

It is the determination of people like you that sustains our struggle and builds power to bring us ever closer to a comprehensive military embargo on apartheid Israel, similar to that imposed on apartheid South Africa.

 

We need your sustained support to help take the BDS movement to the next level at this critical moment. Together, until freedom, justice and equality.

Didi here. As a refuser and the head of Refuser Solidarity Network, I’m writing to you at a fragile moment. News shifts by the hour: one headline declares a “ceasefire,” the next warns of the “reoccupation” of Gaza. Amid the confusion, one truth remains clear: the only force that has ever stopped Israel’s wars of annihilation is the people who refuse to fight them. This ceasefire was not granted by the government or diplomacy. It was forced into being by resistance: by global outrage, by organizing, and by soldiers who said no. Refusers slowed mobilization, broke ranks, and disrupted the machinery of war. Now those same refusers face a new challenge as Israel prepares to reoccupy Gaza under the guise of peace. That is why we are turning to you today. RSN is launching its end-of-year campaign to grow this movement with the momentum of the ceasefire. Netanyahu is betting on silence, on the world’s attention fading so he can deepen control. But we are still here. The struggle did not end but changed phase. That is why we need you today. We plan to continue training organizers, support refusers, and build the movement that can stop this.

In recent weeks, Israeli officials have begun sketching plans for a long-term reoccupation of Gaza. New military zones have been mapped across the Strip, separating the west from the east. Armed checkpoints and “buffer areas” are expanding even though they are supposed to be temporary, effectively carving Gaza into controlled enclaves. Displaced Palestinians remain barred from returning home. The Israeli government doesn’t even pretend this is temporary while it entrenches itself in the Gaza Strip. This is a new phase of domination that is poised to expand. We need a strong resistance movement to stop it.

At RSN, we know refusal works. It worked during the Intifada, it worked during this war, and it will work now. Our mission is to make refusal widespread, organized, and impossible to ignore. We support the networks that make it happen: from reservist groups to grassroots activists. Together, we are building the most powerful resistance Israel has ever known, a movement that grows stronger each time someone says enough. But refusal demands resources. It needs us. Because the truth is, the ceasefire is fragile, the fire has not ceased, and the occupation is not over. Yet we have an opportunity to end the Israeli occupation, but it can happen only with real resistance.

 

But resistance will continue to grow, despite the ceasefire, and in spite of Israel’s plans. 


In solidarity,


Didi Remez
Executive Director
