OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY
In response to questions about the floating dock in Gaza, the Deputy Spokesman said the United Nations welcomes any effort towards ensuring humanitarian aid reaches Gaza. As such, we are grateful to the United States, as well as to Cyprus, with the support of other Member States, to sustain the maritime corridor as an additional route for aid to Gaza.
After months of discussions with all relevant authorities, the UN has agreed to support in receiving and arranging for the dispatch of aid into Gaza from the floating dock, as long as it respects the neutrality and independence of humanitarian operations.
Given the immense needs in Gaza, the floating dock is intended to supplement existing land crossings of aid into Gaza, including Rafah, Kerem Shalom and Erez. It is not meant to replace any crossings.
On Friday, the first trucks carrying humanitarian assistance have moved ashore on the floating dock in Gaza. This is an ongoing, multinational effort to deliver additional aid to Palestinians in Gaza through a maritime corridor that is entirely humanitarian in nature and will involve aid commodities donated by a number of countries and humanitarian organizations.
Meanwhile, our humanitarian colleagues report that since the military offensive on Rafah began, nearly 640,000 people have been displaced. Many of those who fled have sought safety in Deir al Balah, which is extremely overcrowded. Conditions there are dire.
The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reports that the ongoing influx of displaced people from Rafah into Deir al Balah - as well as Khan Younis - continues to strain an already-overstretched response.
Our colleagues working on getting food to people in Gaza report that only five bakeries remain operational in all of Gaza - four in Gaza city and one in Deir al Balah. Nearly a dozen others have ceased operations due to fuel and supply shortages, amid ongoing hostilities.
These conditions have forced partners to conduct small-scale distributions with limited stocks, providing reduced rations and prioritizing Khan Younis and Deir al Balah governorates - where, as we have mentioned, hundreds of thousands people displaced from Rafah have arrived over the past 10 days.
That ongoing displacement from Rafah to Khan Younis has exacerbated the water and sanitation crisis, with sewage overflow and solid waste spreading across roads, displacement camps, and the rubble of destroyed homes - with a catastrophic impact on health.
Our colleagues working on ensuring that people in Gaza have adequate shelter say there are no remaining stocks of shelter materials inside Gaza.
Meanwhile, colleagues working on the health response say the movement of emergency medical teams in Gaza is highly constrained due to growing insecurity and access challenges.
UKRAINE
From Ukraine, the Humanitarian Coordinator there, Denise Brown, yesterday condemned new attacks that continue to devastate people’s lives across the country.
Yesterday, in the city of Kherson, in the south of Ukraine, dozens of civilians, including two children, were injured in the strikes.
Meanwhile, attacks also continued in the east, in the Kharkiv region, forcing thousands of people to flee, leaving everything behind.
The humanitarian community is supporting people in Kharkiv. In coordination with the authorities, aid organizations have provided accommodation and supplies, and are exploring additional options should the number of displaced people continue to increase.

Yes, How about the constant need for fuel in the first place. To "run generators" but why doesn't Gaza have power lines that transport electricity in stead of unreliable power generators? They could connect to Egypt or Israel power lines and simply use electricity like they do anywhere in the world.

The presence of Putin's terrorist regime forces us to reconsider our understanding of state power in general. Since the main function of government is to create optimal conditions for the life of the population, we perceive this order as natural. With the emergence of mafia, terrorist, gangster and other criminal types of power, the community of states does not have a common scheme for correcting and treating the institution of power in the affected country. In addition, criminal regimes provoke and finance neighboring countries to create criminal power, since they cannot survive in a legal environment. There is an urgent need to create a civilizational standard of government and the Organization of General Defense against Terrorism, or a similar corrective structure.
