Gaza Faces 60,000 Orphans
Palestinian Minister of Social Development Samah Hamad said the number of households receiving assistance rose from 270,000 in 2024 to 350,000 in 2025, and then to 416,000 in 2026—an increase of nearly 54% over two years, reflecting growing needs amid displacement, unemployment and loss of income. She warned that poverty was worsening and institutions’ ability to meet needs was declining. She noted that the financial crisis had affected around 90% of development projects, while available funding for the humanitarian response covered no more than 40% of what was needed. She called for combining urgent relief with sustainable social protection, expanding employment and production opportunities, and ensuring the continued provision of services and international support.
