Gaza
current
A ceasefire came into effect in Gaza on 19th January 2025. A surge of supplies has entered Gaza since the beginning of the ceasefire, enabling an increase in the humanitarian response to critical needs. Debris management, retrieval of bodies and addressing explosive ordnance contamination across Gaza are some of the immediate priorities, together with the further scaling up of humanitarian aid and reinstatement of essential services.

Unfortunately too many were like Macbeth’s “poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more”
