Daily Peace and Crisis Report — Thursday

Summary

Middle East

Gaza Strip

WAFA's latest accessible update, dated 11 November 2026 and attributed to Gaza medical sources, reports 74,653 Palestinians killed and 176,007 wounded since 7 October 2023. It reports 1,622 killed and 5,878 wounded since the ceasefire took effect on 11 October 2025, alongside 850 bodies recovered from rubble during the ceasefire period. These are the latest consulted figures, not a 12 November update. WAFA (Palestinian official)

OCHA's report published 6 November, with a main Gaza reporting period of 27 October–2 November, describes continuing strikes, shooting and shelling in populated areas. It also reports gunfire near a UN-contracted facility and a UN-organized convoy on 3 November, and gunfire damaging tents and reportedly injuring people at a displacement site in northern Rafah. These earlier incident reports are separate from WAFA's newer cumulative casualty update. OCHA (UN/humanitarian)

Aid access remained constrained in OCHA's reporting: 466 UN and partner supply trucks were manifested for entry during 26 October–1 November, and 397 were offloaded on the Israeli side of Kerem Shalom. On 1 November, Israeli authorities notified UN agencies that humanitarian and commercial shipments from Egypt would be suspended, with exceptions. The Food Security Sector warned that a continuing suspension could reduce daily free meal distribution from about 600,000 to 330,000 and bread production from 160 to 139 metric tons; these were conditional projections, not confirmed November output. OCHA (UN/humanitarian)

Winter shortages threaten shelter and essential services. OCHA estimated needs as of 1 November of approximately 121,000 tents, 561,000 tarpaulins, 57,000 emergency shelter kits and 1.7 million mattresses, with available stocks far below requirements; shortages of lubricants, spare parts and maintenance supplies also threatened water, sanitation and health services. UNRWA reported approximately 60,000 displaced people in 113 collective emergency shelters as of 3 November. Separately, Shelter Cluster surveys conducted in June estimated 1.98 million people, 94 per cent of Gaza's population, needed shelter and non-food assistance. Shelter occupancy and the June needs estimate must not be treated as the same measure or date. OCHA (UN/humanitarian) UNRWA (UN agency)

West Bank

OCHA's 27 October–2 November report, covering the West Bank including East Jerusalem, recorded 58 Palestinian injuries, including two children: 43 attributed to settlers and 15 to Israeli forces. It recorded 64 settler attacks causing casualties or property damage; 49 injuries occurred in settler-attack contexts, including 44 connected to the olive harvest. OCHA (UN/humanitarian)

Tech For Palestine’s public OCHA-derived West Bank dataset reports 1,129 Palestinians killed and 12,356 injured since 7 October 2023 through its latest non-carried-forward report, dated 2 November 2026. These root-level cumulative fields are based on incidents reported to OCHA but not yet independently verified; later daily rows through 11 November carry forward the same totals and are not new casualty updates. These are reported figures, not an independently verified or 12 November count. Tech For Palestine (open-source initiative; secondary OCHA-derived dataset documentation) Tech For Palestine (open-source initiative; secondary OCHA-derived dataset documentation) The separate OCHA snapshot, published 27 October with data through 30 September 2026, reports 331 Palestinian fatalities and 6,135 injuries for 1 January 2025–30 September 2026. Its injury counts of 4,003 for 7 October–31 December 2023, 3,126 for calendar 2024 and 6,135 for the later interval correctly sum to 13,264; that historical period-sum is not combined with the dataset’s flash-update-derived series, which has a different reporting and verification basis. The snapshot’s 331 fatalities are only the later subwindow, not the since-7 October total. OCHA (UN/humanitarian)

OCHA said more than 3,000 people were reportedly displaced during the 23 October–2 November Israeli-force operation in Hebron's Jildah and ‘Ein Deir Bahah neighbourhoods; the count remained under verification, and families began returning after the operation. During the reporting week, demolition or self-demolition of 31 Palestinian-owned structures displaced 71 people, including 38 children. A Humanitarian Country Team visit to Hebron on 2 November focused on coordination with local authorities and aid organisations, not a reported political agreement. OCHA (UN/humanitarian)

WAFA reported that armed settlers accompanied by Israeli forces attacked olive harvesters in Bireen on 10 November, bruising farmers and taking olives; soldiers reportedly seized a tractor and detained a farmer. It also reported a family driven from groves in Wadi Ma'in and its olives and equipment taken. A separate 9 November account described arson at Beita's industrial zone, including three bulldozers and other vehicles and equipment. WAFA attributed 1,369 October settler attacks to the Palestinian Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, whereas OCHA recorded 457 October incidents under its own settler-attack measure; these counts have different described scopes and methods and are not interchangeable.

Lebanon

In an AFP-attributed report dated 10 November, Al Jazeera quoted UNIFIL saying about a dozen rounds were fired at a patrol near Wadi Jilu in the Tyre district. The patrol returned fire, the shooting stopped and no casualties were reported; UNIFIL did not identify the assailants. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said G7 ministers supported avoiding a security void after UNIFIL's mandate ends in 2026 and moving toward a new security architecture, but acknowledged no breakthrough on a replacement. The report also described Israeli forces continuing to occupy parts of southern Lebanon despite the ceasefire/framework arrangement. Al Jazeera (Qatari international news network)

The latest casualty report located was dated 4 November. An AFP-attributed article hosted by Al Arabiya said Lebanon's health ministry reported one person killed in an Israeli drone strike in Qabrikha, while the National News Agency reported one man killed and another wounded. Israel's military said it struck two suspects it said were observing its soldiers. These attributed figures were not independently verified in the consulted material and do not describe the later UNIFIL patrol incident. Al Arabiya (pan-Arab news channel)

Al Jazeera's 11 November reporting describes cumulative war-related damage to wheat farming and livelihoods, citing researchers and experts. It says the share of previously wheat-growing land left fallow rose from 9 per cent to 24 per cent since 2023. This is a reported cumulative agricultural impact, not a new military event on the report date. Al Jazeera (Qatari international news network)

Iran–US Diplomatic Situation

Al Jazeera's 11 November report quoted Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei denying that negotiations or a Qatar meeting were continuing and saying Tehran awaited a US response to seven conditions. On 9 November, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei had defended a proposal to restart talks within two days, with sanctions relief, an end to the US naval blockade and cessation of hostilities among Iran's proposed preconditions. These are Iranian statements and proposals, not confirmation of US acceptance. Al Jazeera (Qatari international news network) Reuters (wire service)

Reuters reported on 5 November that Iranian officials had met Qatari mediators since the previous week to discuss proposals, without an announced breakthrough on major issues. On 11 November, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington remained open to diplomacy and major combat operations were unnecessary if economic pressure achieved the same objectives; on 8 November he had rejected Iran's demands and said a breakthrough was not imminent. President Donald Trump said on 8 November that further strikes were highly unlikely if talks progressed toward a strong agreement. The accounts establish mediation and conditional positions, but do not resolve whether bilateral talks are currently proceeding or confirm a completed deal.

Maritime risk remains active in the consulted reporting. Reuters relayed the US military's account of disabling a commercial vessel in the Gulf of Oman that it said was trying to breach the blockade, alongside Iranian Revolutionary Guards accounts of tanker mines and fires; Reuters could not confirm reported tanker strikes. Al Jazeera's 11 November report distinguished an IRGC claim that three tankers caught fire after hitting mines from UKMTO reports of incidents involving two tankers, including one reportedly hit by an unknown projectile northeast of Oman. It also cited maritime monitoring firms reporting at least 37 ship attacks in and near Hormuz during October. Responsibility for each incident and a verified vessel casualty total are not established by these accounts. Reuters (wire service) Al Jazeera (Qatari international news network)

Eastern Europe

Russia–Ukraine Conflict

OHCHR's latest consulted monthly update, published 15 October, covers September 2026: it verified 328 civilians killed and 2,105 injured across Ukraine, including 18 killed and 44 injured in territory occupied by the Russian Federation. Subtracting that subset yields 310 killed and 2,061 injured in government-controlled territory. OHCHR warns that occupied-territory casualties are likely significantly higher because access and independent information are limited. Table 1 marks that row Unverified* for the constrained overall toll; this does not negate OHCHR's verification of the stated minimum of 18 killed and 44 injured. No October monthly total was located in the completed research. OHCHR (UN agency) OHCHR (UN agency)

RT's 7 November report attributed to Russia's Defence Ministry claims of overnight strikes on Kyiv's Northern Bridge, a missile plant, energy and ammunition-production facilities, a substation in Zhytomyr Region and a cargo vessel near Odesa. The ministry claimed the bridge was used to move weapons and military equipment. RT also reported Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko's confirmation of bridge damage, Ukrainian authorities' statement that at least five people were injured in Kyiv, and Volodymyr Zelensky's claim that the barrage involved 172 drones and 36 ballistic missiles. These remain attributed official accounts as reported by RT, rather than independently established target or strike totals. RT (Russian state)

Izvestia reported on 3 November that Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik claimed 9,213 civilian deaths and about 27,000 injuries since February 2022 from Ukrainian attacks; he also claimed about 5,000 civilian casualties, including 631 deaths, in the third quarter of 2026. The consulted article provides no breakdown between the Russian Federation proper and Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory. Those figures are therefore a geographically unallocated Russian official claim, not a Russia-only count and not directly comparable to OHCHR's monthly verified figures. The required Russia row states Not separately reported for Russia-proper totals. Izvestia (Russian national newspaper)

Africa

Sudan

The war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces remains active. OCHA reported that a 9 October 2026 drone strike hit a building sheltering displaced families in An Nuhud, West Kordofan, killing at least 12 people. For the longer conflict record, Al Jazeera's April timeline counted 13,401 attacks from 15 April 2023 through 27 March 2026, spanning clashes, air and drone strikes, shelling, looting and other incidents. That event tally is neither a death count nor a same-day November battlefield update. OCHA (UN/humanitarian) Al Jazeera (Qatari international news network)

A harmonized cumulative death toll is not established. CSIS wrote on 17 April 2026 that ACLED had tracked more than 58,000 reported fatalities since the war began and separately described broader estimates of 150,000–400,000 deaths. Event-based reported fatalities and broader death estimates differ in coverage and method; they are not a single validated range or confidence interval. Wounded are Not separately reported as a reliable nationwide total in the consulted sources. CSIS (US policy research institution) Al Jazeera (Qatari international news network)

OCHA lists 33.7 million people in need in its 2026 response figures and more than 9 million internally displaced, without specifying the displacement reference date. WFP's dated 17 July update described El Obeid as a displacement and hunger hotspot: nearly 400,000 people in Sheikan, Bara and Gharb Bara faced IPC Phase 4, and just over 100,000 people in El Obeid received half rations because of funding shortfalls. WFP said conflict had blocked aid to an estimated 200,000 people in June and requested US$646 million for June–November operations. These July operational details illustrate documented constraints, not a current November caseload. OCHA (UN/humanitarian) WFP (UN agency)

The latest directly consulted national IPC assessment is reported in a joint WFP/FAO/UNICEF release dated 15 May 2026: nearly 19.5 million people faced IPC Phase 3 or worse, including almost 135,000 in Phase 5 across 14 hotspots and more than 5 million in Phase 4. No area was then classified as currently experiencing famine, although hotspots in Darfur and South Kordofan remained at risk. The release projected severe acute malnutrition for 825,000 children under five in 2026 and documented access and funding limitations. Its finding about famine classification applies to that May assessment, not November conditions; no later national assessment was verified in the completed research. WFP (UN agency)

Asia

Myanmar

UNICEF's 3 November statement said reports indicated that an airstrike on 31 October hit a school serving displaced children and families in Loikaw Township, Kayah State, killing three children and injuring five. It also reported airstrikes in Rakhine over the same weekend, including a strike on a temporary healthcare facility that reportedly killed a newborn baby and healthcare workers; the number of healthcare workers was not separately reported. UNICEF called on all parties to respect international humanitarian law and protect schools, healthcare facilities and other civilian infrastructure. The statement frames these incidents as reports, not independently verified findings. UNICEF Myanmar (UN agency)

OCHA's 13 July humanitarian update estimated nearly 3.8 million people displaced nationwide and said recent hostilities in Magway alone had displaced more than 100,000. It described hostilities, movement restrictions and administrative requirements blocking humanitarian access, particularly as conflict drove displacement in the northwest and southeast. The page gives neither a separate cutoff for the nationwide displacement estimate nor a defined interval for the Magway figure, so neither is presented as a November total. OCHA Myanmar (UN/humanitarian)

The latest located OCHA response dashboard was published 8 September but covers January–June 2026. By 30 June, humanitarian partners had reached an estimated 3.1 million affected people, 63 per cent of the annual target, including 1.3 million internally displaced people. Within the hyper-prioritized caseload, 1.6 million people were reached, 64 per cent of that target. OCHA cautions that assistance differed in type, intensity and duration and recipients could receive support in several sectors: reach indicates breadth, not adequate or sustained coverage. No later dashboard was located in the completed research. OCHA Myanmar (UN/humanitarian)

Seasonal shocks compound conflict-related needs. UNICEF estimated 600,000 people affected by flooding as of end-August across parts of northwest Myanmar, Rakhine, Ayeyarwady and Kachin, with damage to homes, livelihoods, health facilities, schools, highways and bridges. The same brief noted an acute watery diarrhoea outbreak. This end-August estimate is distinct from OCHA's displacement and humanitarian-reach measures. UNICEF Myanmar (UN agency)

Statistics

Table 1 — Casualties (Killed / Wounded)

* OHCHR access is denied to Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine; figures for civilians in occupied territory cannot be independently verified. The vast majority (96%) of verified civilian casualties occur in Government-controlled areas.
