“It also included expanded humanitarian arrangements, most notably the regular opening of border crossings like the Rafah crossing; enabling greater freedom of movement for individuals; and the improved entry of aid, including hundreds of daily trucks carrying food, medicine and fuel, with guarantees that assistance would reach all areas of the Strip without obstruction.”

“However, six months later, field data and reports from international organisations show that these commitments have not been fulfilled as promised.”

“No full ceasefire has been achieved, no comprehensive withdrawal has taken place, aid has remained below agreed-upon levels, and border crossings have continued to operate intermittently under shifting security and political conditions.”

“Gaza’s Government Media Office has documented more than 2,073 violations between October 2025 and March 2026, including Israeli air strikes, gunfire and incursions.”

“In the first weeks of the truce alone, about 497 violations were recorded, resulting in 342 Palestinian deaths, while by December, the toll had reached 379 killed and 992 injured, according to Ministry of Health data.”

“By April this year, the total death toll since the start of the ceasefire has exceeded 700 Palestinians, according to official sources.”

“According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the agreement called for the entry of about 600 aid trucks per day; however, actual deliveries remained significantly below this threshold in the early weeks and have continually fluctuated since.”
