Key Highlights
So far in September, at least 11 schools sheltering internally displaced persons have been hit in Gaza, with nearly 100 fatalities reported.
Displaced people continue to survive in abysmal conditions, crammed in worn-out tents and damaged structures, with limited food, water and other necessities, recent UN inter-agency assessments in Deir al Balah and Khan Younis find.
As the winter approaches, flooding in or near displacement sites and medical points will increase the risk of disease spread and further shrink access to healthcare and sanitation, warn the Health and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Clusters.
Nearly 90 per cent of coordinated humanitarian movements between northern and southern Gaza so far in September have been either denied or impeded.
