The humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached a catastrophic point. Out of the 11,078 reported fatalities as of November 12, an estimated 68% are women and children. Nearly 1.6 million people are now internally displaced. 

Urgent action is needed to ensure access for 5,500 pregnant women expected to deliver in the next 30 days in Gaza. Pregnant and lactating women, with higher daily water and caloric intake requirements, face health risks due to the lack of food and water across Gaza. The well-being of over 690,000 menstruating women and girls is also at risk due to limited access to menstrual hygiene products, compounded by inadequate water, hygiene, and privacy. 

Moreover, approximately half a million adolescent boys and girls in Gaza have experienced disrupted education and trauma. 

UNFPA is urgently appealing for US$14.1 million to implement a three-month response plan aligned with the revised Flash Appeal (October-December).
