With the information and narratives that have been thrown, hope this data I've seen shared internally helps - I've provided sources for where you can find this data below also...

Oh ps - If anyone is wondering what's going on in the photo, the above is water trucking being done by colleagues directly into communities, 100,000 litres of clean drinking water per day is being done - Water is just one piece of everything being done currently.
"In Gaza, the IRC has deployed 12 teams of emergency medical personnel (EMTs) on a rotational basis; launched a Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition program and delivered 1,700 cartons of Ready to Use Therapeutic Food to northern Gaza. We are distributing 100,000 liters of clean drinking water per day; have trained caregivers on Psychosocial Support, provided men, women and children with protection services and connected caregivers with the Ahlan Family Corner social media campaign, which provides tips and coping strategies. IRC is also working with thirteen local partners to deliver; Early Childhood Development, Child Protection, Women’s Protection and Empowerment, Health, Nutrition and Basic Needs and Wellbeing." 0 reply

Another update released earlier today - Full Press Release is below, but some key details I've provided below of what we're currently doing there - There's a ton still happening on Policy & Advocacy behind the scenes. To give more context, with 1700 cartons of RUTF, each carton can save a child & the EMT focuses solely on carrying out life-saving surgery.

This was released overnight from my org - I'm seeing daily situation reports of what our teams are encountering on the ground as we have extensive Lebanese operations stretching back over a decade, but regarding what can be shared externally for now - Please see the full Press Release below;
"Since September 27, the IRC has deployed mobile teams to address the needs of displaced Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian communities, focusing on unaccompanied children, vulnerable individuals, and those in need of emergency assistance.
The IRC has mobilized a medical team in close coordination with the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health and our partner, the primary health care centers (PHCC) in the North. The team consists of nurses, general physicians, social workers, and community health workers assessing the pressing health needs of displaced people residing near health care centers."
