The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is raising the alarm over the rapidly deteriorating situation in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo, particularly in Fizi and Mwenga Territories, where fighting among armed groups and restrictions have severely limited humanitarian access — or made it impossible.

In Ukraine, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports that large-scale attacks continued in Kyiv and across multiple regions, killing and injuring dozens of civilians. Authorities reported that parts of Kharkiv were left without electricity and water. Nationwide, more than 100,000 consumers are without electricity.

In Jamaica, the UN Development Programme (UNDP) has mobilized an initial 2ドル million in Resilient Recovery grants for hurricane recovery efforts.

In Gaza, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports that the ongoing humanitarian scale-up is still being held back by restrictions affecting visas and import approvals, too few crossing points operating and limited facilitation of humanitarian movements inside Gaza, among other challenges.
