Highlights

• On 13 January, the ETC team attended an online meeting with the representatives from the Office of the Quartet, Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Ministry of Telecommunications and Digital Economy (MTDE), telecommunications, and Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The meeting focused on reviving accumulated fuel shortages and supporting the transportation and distribution of fuel needs to sustain critical communications services across the Gaza Strip.

• On 13 January, an additional 15 satellite-based tracking devices were delivered to Gaza with the Senior United Nations Official (SUNO) mission movement to support the World Food Programme (WFP) operations and enhance staff safety and security. The Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) has approved 98 devices, all of which have been delivered to Gaza for use by 11 United Nations (UN) agencies.

• The ETC urgently requires US$2.5 million, as requested in the Flash Appeal for the Occupied Palestinian Territory 2025, to sustain critical lifesaving operations in Gaza throughout the year. This funding is essential to enable the ETC to provide coordination and information management activities and deploy shared communications services in key locations across Gaza, supporting the safety and effectiveness of humanitarian efforts.
