OCHA stated that civilians and civilian facilities, including hospitals, should be protected from military use or attacks. Humanitarian partners reported that settler-related violence continued over the weekend, involving theft, arson, vandalism, and confrontations in multiple areas. In the Al Mughayyir area of Ramallah, settlers escorted by Israeli forces attacked for three consecutive days, injuring nearly a dozen Palestinians and hindering the movement of ambulances and vehicles. OCHA is working with partners to prepare for the rainy season. Municipalities in Gaza have mapped flood risks across hundreds of locations, requiring drainage clearing, debris removal, and equipment prepositioning. However, partners warned that efforts are constrained by insufficient funding, limited volume of items entering Gaza, and shortages of heavy machinery. Most of the Gaza Strip remains inaccessible due to the Israeli military ruling areas out-of-bounds.
