United Nations and Humanitarian NGOs Warn on Palestinian Deaths
Between October 10, 2025, and early April 2026, the UN verified the killing of 196 Palestinians, including 18 women and 43 children, in Israeli attacks near where Israeli forces are deployed.
UN and NGO-led Coordination Body Reports
A UN and NGO-led coordination body said Israeli troops have used lethal force to enforce access restrictions in those areas, where air strikes and exchanges of fire occurred.
Humanitarian Access Severely Constrained
Humanitarian access remains severely constrained by Israeli restrictions, delaying or halting life-saving activities, with some organizations forced to scale down or suspend operations after aid workers were killed.
Palestinians Displaced Multiple Times
It added that most Palestinians in Gaza have been displaced multiple times and are now concentrated in shrinking areas amid insecurity and limited access to essential services.
Call for End to Targeting of Palestinians
The UN and NGOs called for an end to the targeting of Palestinians near Israeli forces, full protection of civilians under international law, and safe, unimpeded humanitarian access across Gaza.
