Humanitarians in the Gaza Strip continue to face significant challenges in reaching communities located near the so-called \u201cYellow Line\u201d in northern Rafah, the UN aid coordination office OCHA <\/span>said<\/span><\/a> on Tuesday.<\/span> <\/span>
This comes a day after the UN and partners consulted with representatives of 17 displacement sites hosting some 3,000 families following reports of movements of Israeli forces and disruptions to humanitarian services in the area.\u202f 
The Israeli military established the buffer zone following the October 2025 ceasefire agreement with Hamas. Stretching some 45 kilometres, it divides the Gaza Strip in two.
Community representatives reported that the yellow blocks marking the line had moved northward.   
They also described daily movements of Israeli tanks, construction of sand embankments, and recurrent gunfire, with families reportedly remaining inside their tents most of the day because they are afraid of being injured by gunfire or stray bullets.\u202f 
OCHA<\/a> said humanitarian partners received reports on Tuesday afternoon of intensified military activity in the vicinity of displacement sites near the \u201cYellow Line,\u201d including reported tank movements towards one of these areas.  
Initial reports indicated that one Palestinian was killed and three others were injured at one site.  
The insecurity is severely disrupting the delivery of essential\u202faid, including water, food, bread, hygiene\u202fsupport\u202fand routine site-management services, OCHA said. The agency noted that a\u202fwater-truck\u202fdriver was\u202freportedly injured\u202fby\u202fgunfire\u202flast Wednesday. 
Across Gaza, 1.1 million children face uncertain access to water every day, according to UN child rights agency UNICEF<\/a>. 
Some 82 per cent of households are water insecure, UNICEF said, while up to 70 per cent of the population is unable to collect the recommended minimum of six litres of water per person per day for drinking and cooking. 
 
The global shift to renewable energy \u201cis now unstoppable \u2013 but it still needs to move much faster,\u201d UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed<\/a> said<\/a> on Tuesday in remarks to the High-Level Meeting on Critical Energy Transition Minerals. 
She stressed that advancing this transition \u2013 at speed and scale \u2013 has never been more urgent or vital.\u202f 
\u201cThe climate crisis is driving us deeper into planetary overshoot with rising temperatures pushing us closer to irreversible catastrophic tipping points,\u201d she said. 
\u201cAt the same time, a global energy crisis is exposing the folly of a world still hooked on hydrocarbons, with limited access to cleaner fuels for the poor, and accelerated destruction of our natural systems, pushing ecosystems to the brink,\u201d she added. 
Ms. Mohammed pointed out that these crises have one common cause\u2014fossil fuels.  
She underscored that they demand the same answer, namely \u201ca fast,\u202ffair\u202fand inclusive transition to clean energy, along with shared benefits from decarbonisation, and a surge in adaptation finance, resilient\u202finfrastructure\u202fand climate justice for those already facing climate harm.\u201d\u202f 
 
Cholera continues to spread in Sudan as new drone attacks endanger both civilians and humanitarian operations, the UN aid coordination office OCHA said on Tuesday. 
Multiple drone attacks have been reported across the Darfur and Kordofan regions, the agency said in an update<\/a>.  
Humanitarian partners reported that on Sunday, a drone reportedly struck a fuel station in the Al Malaja area of El Obeid, capital of North Kordofan state. 
That same day, a drone also struck several trucks traveling in North Darfur along the road between\u202fEl Fasher and Um Kadada. A separate drone attack resulted in civilian casualties in Kubum town in South Darfur state. 
The strikes are happening as cholera continues to spread to new areas in Darfur and Kordofan. 
New cases reportedly were confirmed in Kampala displacement camp in South Darfur, OCHA said, while Tawila locality in North Darfur reported its first suspected case. 
\u201cIn West Kordofan, which has seen the highest number of cases, six new suspected cases and two associated deaths had been recorded by health partners, while in North Kordofan, 32 new suspected cholera cases were reported on Sunday in Gharb Bara locality,\u201d the agency added. 
The outbreak is unfolding as the war in Sudan rages on. As of 7 July, there were 1,330 confirmed cases and 114 deaths, according to the World Health Organization (WHO<\/a>). 
Sudan faced a major cholera outbreak around the same time last year that resulted in more than 80,000 suspected cases and over 2,000 associated deaths. 
Meanwhile, the UN and partners continue to pre-position supplies and scale up their response. For example, UNICEF delivered essential health supplies to El Fula in West Kordofan on 12 July that will support nearly 430,000 people. 
OCHA again called for the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, while underscoring the need for rapid and flexible funding for humanitarian operations.
