Overview
- The ceasefire reached its one-year mark on Friday, yet intermittent Israeli operations have continued and more than 1,400 people were killed during the ceasefire year.
- Since the fighting began, reporting places total deaths at about 74,000 and more than 170,000 wounded, with roughly 2 million people living in prolonged displacement.
- Widespread shortages of food, medicine and fuel, closed aid checkpoints and rising piles of uncollected waste have created sharp public-health dangers for civilians.
- Israeli forces continue to control about two-thirds of Gaza and have carried out forced evictions that keep families from returning and block any start to reconstruction.
- A wider U.S./Israel–Iran war has sidelined the U.S.-chaired Peace Council and the phased peace plan while accelerating West Bank settlement expansion and settler violence that undercut prospects for a two-state peace.
