The current record is still mass civilian harm
OCHA's 2 April 2026 humanitarian situation report says that, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, 713 Palestinians had been killed and 1,940 injured since the October 2025 ceasefire announcement, with casualties continuing even in the supposed lower-intensity period.
The OCHA update keeps post-ceasefire casualties in the live humanitarian file.
The ceasefire-era file still shows broken daily systems
UNICEF says no hospital in Gaza is fully functional and only 18 of 36 hospitals are partially functional.
WHO's 2026 Health Emergency Appeal says more than 18,500 injured and chronically ill patients require treatment unavailable in Gaza and are awaiting evacuation.
Children are still carrying a staggering share of the damage
UNICEF's 5 February 2026 State of Palestine update says at least 21,289 children had been reported killed in Gaza as of 3 February 2026, with 44,500 children reported injured. The same UNICEF update said at least 11 children had reportedly died from hypothermia that winter.
The child-casualty figures sit in the same update as the hospital-function and winter-exposure warnings.
The health system is still shattered
UNICEF says no hospital in Gaza is fully functional and only 18 of 36 are partially functional. WHO's 2026 Health Emergency Appeal adds that more than 18,500 injured and chronically ill patients require treatment that is unavailable in Gaza and are awaiting medical evacuation.
The health-system record combines facility failure with an evacuation backlog measured in tens of thousands.
The evacuation backlog keeps the crisis inside hospitals
WHO's evacuation number covers injured and chronically ill patients who need treatment unavailable inside Gaza.
The figure puts trauma care, chronic illness, cancer treatment, dialysis, maternal care, and pediatric care inside the same capacity crisis.
Hunger and basic services remain in crisis territory
WHO says 1.6 million people in Gaza are expected to face high levels of acute food insecurity through mid-April 2026. OCHA also reported on 2 April that electricity-line damage to the southern desalination plant had reduced access to drinking water for about 500,000 people in southern Gaza.
The food and water figures place basic-service failure beside the casualty and hospital records.
The current file is a systems-failure file
OCHA, UNICEF, and WHO describe continuing casualties, nonfunctional hospitals, delayed evacuations, food insecurity, and damaged water infrastructure.
The same April 2026 file shows life-support systems failing at population scale.
