In numbers: One month of ceasefire in Gaza

It’s now been one month since the ceasefire came into effect in Gaza. Since the start of the ceasefire:

  • At least 241 Palestinians have been killed and 619 wounded by Israeli attacks that have continued.
  • Hamas has returned all 20 remaining living captives and bodies of 24 of the 28 deceased captives.
  • Israel has released about 2,000 Palestinians, including 250 political prisoners who were serving lengthy or life sentences, and 1,718 Palestinians who were, according to the UN, forcefully disappeared by Israel during the war.
  • Bodies of Palestinians have also been returned, with Israeli authorities handing over 15 for each deceased Israeli returned in recent exchanges. Palestinian officials say they have struggled with identification due to the decomposition of the bodies and the lack of necessary equipment in the enclave.

Outpacing the ceasefire killings in Lebanon, More than 270 people have been killed and around 850 have been wounded by Israeli military actions since the ceasefire took effect, which came into effect November 27th last year. Almost 2 dozen murdered a month in Lebanon since the ceasefire started, 20 dozen murdered in Gaza since a month of 'ceasefire'.


What’s happening in Gaza right now

As the ceasefire enters a second month, Israeli attacks have continued across Gaza.

  • The Wafa news agency is reporting that the Israeli army is continuing to demolish homes in the Zeitoun neighbourhood.
  • Israeli military vehicles are firing heavily in the east of Gaza City, as various types of drones fly over the western part of the city.
  • Heavy air raids have also been carried out on the northern and eastern areas of Khan Younis.
  • The Israeli army has fired artillery shells at the az-Zanna area in southern Gaza.


Aid flow into Gaza still far below volumes promised under ceasefire agreement

Palestinians were promised that 600 trucks of food, medicine and other essential aid will enter the Strip daily as part of the ceasefire agreement.

We have been monitoring the situation, and the majority of trucks entering are non-essential commercial trucks. According to the UN and the Reuters news agency, only 200 trucks of humanitarian aid have been entering every day.

So what is coming in is much less than what was promised and definitely not enough to meet the huge demand in Gaza. In the north, where many Palestinians are relocating and returning, the UN says no aid has entered directly through crossings for 75 days.

We were in the north yesterday, and people were telling us they go to bed hungry. They cannot afford what is on the market currently. There’s a lack of meat and eggs. Palestinians also have to queue for long hours for water.

People are still looking for and waiting for real change on the ground.


Total of 270 aid and commercial trucks enter Gaza as shortages persist

A total of 270 trucks carrying aid and commercial goods entered Gaza on Sunday through the Kerem Abu Salem (called Kerem Shalom in Israel) crossing and al-Karara (Kissufim, to Israelis) gate, our colleagues on the ground have reported.

The deliveries included 126 aid trucks, 127 carrying commercial goods, 10 fuel trucks and seven transporting cooking gas.

While the volume of aid entering the enclave has increased since the ceasefire came into effect, Palestinians across Gaza continue to face severe shortages of food, clean water, medicine and other essential supplies due to ongoing Israeli restrictions.

Many families remain without proper shelter, with large parts of Gaza reduced to rubble after two years of Israeli bombardment. UNRWA says between 500 and 600 trucks are required each day to meet the population’s most basic needs.
