Since the October 2025 ceasefire, Israeli military operations have repeatedly breached the truce, leading many to describe the agreement as existing ‘in name only.’ By late October 2026, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported the total death toll reached at least 74,540, with 175,678 injuries. Throughout late 2026, instability intensified through drone strikes, artillery, and ground incursions. Recent violations include strikes in Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, Jabalia, Nuseirat, Khan Younis, and Rafah. Since the ceasefire began, health authorities report over ~~1,500~~ 1,547 Palestinian deaths and ~~5,500~~ 5,559 injuries directly linked to these breaches. The UN Human Rights Office has raised concerns regarding the targeting of civilians, noting that Palestinians are being squeezed into increasingly smaller areas of territory. Humanitarian conditions remain critical. By late September, UN estimates suggested approximately 82% of structures in the enclave were damaged or destroyed. The healthcare system is severely compromised, with 19 of the 38 hospitals in Gaza currently out of service or only partially operational. Malnutrition has also caused significant fatalities, including 466 Palestinians since 2024. Infrastructure destruction continues through airstrikes and large-scale demolitions of residential blocks in areas like Beit Lahia and Rafah. The Gaza Board of Peace, a UN-recognized transitional administration, has faced criticism for its inability to enforce peace or facilitate reconstruction. Agricultural and social infrastructure also suffer; olive production has plummeted, and the Islamic University in Gaza recently suspended activities following a drone strike that killed three security guards and injured eight students.
