Overview
- Fresh Israeli strikes and expulsion orders killed at least eight Palestinians in Gaza this week and forced new waves of families to flee their homes, local medical and civil defense sources reported.
- Humanitarian and rights groups say the October 10, 2025 truce exists mainly on paper because Israeli forces continue strikes, move the ceasefire's "Yellow Line" westward and restrict aid and construction materials.
- Gaza’s health ministry and UN agencies report more than 1,400 Palestinians killed and over 5,000 wounded since the truce took effect, while nearly 50,000 women and girls have been killed or severely injured since October 2023, UN Women said.
- Hamas formally handed civilian administration to a US-backed committee but retains effective security control and has not disarmed, and Israel has refused phased withdrawals tied to verifiable decommissioning.
- International reconstruction pledges and the US-led Board of Peace have not produced large-scale rebuilding or sustained funding, leaving shelters, hospitals and food systems in crisis and raising risks of renewed escalation.
