Since the last situation update, at least 51 persons have been
killed or died of injuries they sustained previously, including at
least nine children and 13 women. According to media reports,
however, the number of deaths during the overnight bombings is
larger and may include as many as 36 additional fatalities, whose
bodies are still buried under the rubble or who could not yet be
identied.
Heavy tank shelling and ghting were recorded also in Al Bureij
camp in the middle area. According to initial reports, in one of the
incidents, involving the targeting of a residential building in the
camp, 16 members of the Abu Jabber extended family, were
reportedly killed, including ve children: The house of Al Bureijs
mayor has been also targeted, killing him, his father (76) and his
nine year old nephew, from the Abu Shamaleh family.
Gazas sole power plant shut down after being hit and damaged:
the additional reduction in electricity supply is expected to have
a pervasive impact on the availability of food and access of
people to basic services.
The number of IDPs exceeds 240,000; UNRWA has exhausted
its absorption capacity in Gaza City and northern Gaza, while
overcrowding at its shelters raises concerns about the outbreak
of epidemics.

Projects targeting Gaza specically in the 2014 Strategic Response Plan (SRP)
are requesting $221 million, of which 32 per cent ($70 million) has been received.
Nearly 90 per cent of 1.9 million vulnerable people targeted in the SRP are in
Gaza. A further $68 million is requested for projects targeting the Gaza Strip and
the West Bank jointly.
Protection of civilians: Ensuring respect for the IHL principles of distinction,
proportionality and precaution in attack.
Humanitarian space: Increased access for humanitarian workers and their partners
to carry out life-saving and emergency assistance is urgently needed, for example
through a regular and meaningful humanitarian pause or coordination requests that
are respected. This is needed among other reasons, to complete search and rescue
operations in several areas of Gaza, such a Ash Shujaiyeh and Khuzaa; reach IDPs
and families in northern Gaza; and repair critical water and electricity infrastructure;
but also to provide a predictable basic level of broader humanitarian assistance to a
population in need. The inability of actors to provide humanitarian assistance will
undermine the credibility of the operations and could increase the security risks of
humanitarian workers.
Scale up response to IDPs: additional shelters are needed to reduce overcrowding
and accommodate new IDPs, alongside the replenishment of food, water, and NFI
stocks. Assistance of IDPs living with host families also needs to be increased,
particularly the provision of NFIs and water.
