Highlights

The Gaza Strip

The latest WASH Cluster monitoring, conducted in June, indicates a continued deterioration in water security, with 84 per cent of assessed households experiencing moderate-to-high water insecurity. Access to water for domestic use declined between May and June, and drinking water was identified as the most pressing humanitarian concern, reported by 62 per cent of households.
Sanitation and hygiene conditions also remain concerning. Eighty-six per cent of households reported barriers to accessing toilets and latrines, due to lack of water, privacy concerns, and poor cleanliness, among others. Environmental health risks persist, with 52 per cent of households reporting sewage or sludge near shelters and 43 per cent reporting nearby solid waste accumulation. More than half of households reported lacking hygiene items, while health concerns remain widespread, including skin diseases or scabies (64 per cent), bedbugs (31 per cent), and lice (22 per cent).
