Widespread Ceasefire Violations by Israeli Enemy, Humanitarian Crisis Deepens in Gaza

The Government Media Office in Gaza stated on Friday that the Israeli enemy military has committed 535 documented violations since the ceasefire agreement took effect in October. According to Director Ismail Al-Thawabteh, these breaches have resulted in the deaths of at least 350 people and injuries to approximately 900 others.

In a press statement, Al-Thawabteh provided a detailed account of the Israeli violations, which he said include direct bombardment, gunfire targeting farmers, fishermen, and displaced individuals, and ongoing incursions into the Gaza Strip.

A significant point of contention raised was the entry of humanitarian aid. Al-Thawabteh reported that only 9,930 trucks have been allowed into Gaza against a requirement of nearly 28,000, representing a fulfillment rate of just 35%. He affirmed that the Israeli enemy is transforming humanitarian aid into a “tool of political and military pressure” rather than treating it as a legal and humanitarian obligation.

The director further emphasized that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is deteriorating at an unprecedented rate due to the destruction of essential infrastructure and services during the recent conflict. He warned that the continued ceasefire violations, coupled with a lack of international accountability, are encouraging the Israeli occupation to persist in targeting and killing civilians.

These reports highlight the ongoing Israeli aggression and the severe challenges in stabilizing the crisis in Gaza and addressing the immense humanitarian needs of its population in the aftermath of the war.

A ceasefire agreement has been in effect in the Gaza Strip since October, intended to halt a prolonged period of genocidal war against Gaza. However, the situation remains fragile, with ongoing disputes over the terms of the truce, particularly regarding the flow of humanitarian aid and the withdrawal of Israeli forces.
