Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine: We mourn the martyrs Ashraf Dahlan, Shadi Abu Atiya and Sami Baroud, employees of the Islamic University security staff Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine: ▪We mourn the martyrs Ashraf Dahlan, Shadi Abu Atiya and Sami Baroud, employees of the Islamic University security staff, who were killed while on duty, and extend our deepest condolences to their families, the university administration, and their female and male colleagues. ▪The Israeli occupation’s targeting of the university with two airstrikes, coinciding with the start of regular in-person classes, represents an attack on efforts toward social recovery in the Gaza Strip, the restoration of its educational and national institutions, and the resumption of the educational process. ▪We call on academic and educational institutions around the world to stand in solidarity with the universities of the Gaza Strip, which are facing a systematic Israeli targeting that affects educational institutions and the conditions for their continuity, as part of the comprehensive war of extermination on the Palestinian presence in the Strip. ▪We call on free people of the world to escalate solidarity action and pressure governments to take serious positions and measures that put an end to the occupation’s crimes, the war of extermination, and the plans of ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people.Palestinian Resistance Committees: The ongoing Zionist escalation in the Gaza Strip and the criminal shelling that targeted the Islamic University in Gaza City and led to the martyrdom of three of its guards constitute a new crime added to the bloody record of the occupation and once again reveal its disregard for the lives of our Palestinian people and its flouting of all agreements, understandings, and efforts aimed at consolidating the calm and stopping the aggression.

Gaza & Palestine

General Coordinator of the Network of Civil Society Organizations, Mohammed Saleha:

▪ The humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is worsening, and the humanitarian response is weak and limited because of the very limited quantities of aid allowed to enter. ▪ The need is estimated at about 800 to 1000 trucks daily, while what is allowed to enter ranges between only 200 and 260 trucks. ▪ About 90% of the population of the Strip rely mainly on aid, which is brought in at a rate of about 40% of the total trucks. ▪ Gaza will be on the brink of famine if the flow of aid remains weak, especially since most families cannot buy goods because of high prices and weak purchasing power. ▪ The unemployment rate exceeds 85% with many facilities shut down and the absence of the private sector, making recovery in the coming stage very difficult. ▪ About 800,000 citizens are living in worn-out tents and need new tents, tarpaulins and shelter equipment as winter approaches. ▪ About 77% of the people of the Gaza Strip are living in tents, and the number is increasing daily as a result of targeting homes and residential buildings and forcing citizens to flee to limited areas. ▪ All the people of the Gaza Strip are living in only about 30% of the Strip's area, while 10% of this area lies adjacent to what is known as the Yellow Line, making living there fraught with risk. ▪ The water crisis is worsening because water wells have stopped, especially in the eastern and northern areas of Gaza City and the north of the Strip, as a result of generators stopping and a shortage of supplies needed to operate them. ▪ Citizens rely mainly on water provided by trucks, which does not exceed 60 to 80 liters per day for a family of 6 to 9 members. ▪ International organizations and United Nations agencies are currently unable to meet the scale of the large humanitarian needs because of the limited amount allowed into the Strip. ▪ The occupation is trying to end the work of the UNRWA agency in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and the main goal of this is to erase the refugee issue. ▪ Less than 40% of children in the Gaza Strip are receiving education services, while about 60% are deprived of education. ▪ If serious action is not taken, the educational situation will be catastrophic after two to three years, because children in Gaza may complete primary school without going to school. ▪ The recovery process must begin with building schools or restoring them and bringing in the materials needed to operate them.

Gaza Strip Public Bus Companies Owners Syndicate:

In light of the continued lack of response to the appeals of the Gaza Strip Public Bus Companies Owners Syndicate regarding the provision of bus spare parts, including tires, oils, and basic maintenance materials, and after exhausting all available means to ensure the continuation of service, the syndicate announces the suspension of medical staff transport service. We announce the suspension of the transport of doctors, nurses, and medical staff on Wednesday, 16 September 2026, which includes transporting them to their workplaces in hospitals and medical centers, including governmental and international ones. This measure is forced and beyond our control, due to the unavailability of the operating and maintenance supplies necessary to ensure the safety of the buses and the continuation of service. We renew our appeal to the concerned authorities and humanitarian and international institutions to intervene urgently and provide maintenance supplies, enabling the resumption of service and avoiding its complete halt.

Civil Defense:

We recovered the remains of 17 martyrs from under the rubble of destroyed homes, including 16 martyrs in Gaza Governorate in the areas of al-Zeitoun and al-Yarmouk, and one martyr in Nuseirat camp in the central governorate
