Previously, UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini pointed to the critical situation in the enclave due to the winter cold and the decline in humanitarian supplies.
The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), meanwhile, said that nearly one million Palestinians in Gaza lacked meaningful protection from the winter cold. According to the NRC, only 285.000 displaced people in Gaza had received basic shelter materials by the end of November, while about 945.000 people still needed assistance.
The replenishment of humanitarian supplies became possible after Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Qatar's prime minister and foreign minister, announced on January 15 that Doha, Cairo and Washington had brokered a deal between Israel and Hamas to release hostages held in Gaza and declare a ceasefire in the enclave. The deal came into effect on January 19.
