The Embassy of the State of Palestine in Manila would like to transmit herewith the comprehensive insights and latest updates of “Situation Report: Occupied Palestine, as of 21 April 2025 – 28 April 2025”.

📅 This week’s report highlights:

⭕ Gaza’s Humanitarian Collapse Deepens: Israel continues to block humanitarian aid to Gaza for the 57th consecutive day, pushing the Palestinian people to the brink of total famine. UN agencies warn of “total disaster,” in Gaza, saying it has become “a land of desperation,” with food supplies depleted and over half a million newly displaced persons.

⭕ Israeli Attacks on Displaced Palestinians: Israeli occupation strikes targeted displaced Palestinians living in makeshift tents, killing 78 civilians in just under a week, including women and children.

⭕ Targeting of Gaza’s Pediatric Care.. Children’s Hospital Rendered Non-operational: Israeli occupation forces have bombed Al-Durra Children’s Hospital in Gaza City, disrupting critical pediatric care for the eastern regions of Gaza. The attack has rendered the hospital out of service amid an already strained healthcare infrastructure and collapsed health system.

⭕ Haaretz Investigation Reveals Execution of Gaza Aid Workers: Israeli soldiers shot paramedics and UN staff at point-blank range in Rafah last March, despite being clearly marked and having their emergency signal lights on, confirming deliberate targeting of humanitarian crews.

⭕ Gaza’s Economy and Living Conditions Collapse: The Gaza Chambers of Commerce report a staggering 527% skyrocketing spike in prices, with unemployment soaring beyond 85% and poverty levels exceeding 90%, and with starvation and thirst being deliberately used as weapons against civilians, warning of an irreversible social and humanitarian disaster. The WFP and UNRWA have also announced they have exhausted all food supplies in Gaza.

⭕ Ongoing Israeli Aggression on Northern West Bank: Israel’s military aggression and siege on Jenin and Tulkarem and their refugee camps have displaced more than 46,000 Palestinians in Jenin and Tulkarem amid ongoing raids, home demolitions and vandalism, the installation of iron gates to isolate refugee camps, and forcing Palestinian families out of their homes at gunpoint.

⭕ Israel Expands Colonial Outposts: Israeli settlers, backed by the Israeli occupation army, have rapidly established new colonial outposts across the occupied West Bank, including in Hebron, Ramallah, Jericho, and Salfit. These installations aim to erase the Green Line, forcibly displace Palestinians, and entrench Israel’s “creeping annexation” of occupied Palestinian land.
