'Every day there is killing': Gazans face Israeli strikes despite ceasefire as peace deal stalls
BBC • • world
Key Points:
- Since the ceasefire on 10 October last year, over 1,400 people in Gaza have been killed in Israeli strikes, despite the ceasefire agreement intended to halt large-scale bombardments.
- The ceasefire led to the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners by Israel and all 48 hostages held in Gaza, but daily Israeli strikes continue, with over 30 deaths reported in the past week alone.
- Many Gaza residents, including families like Fida al-Toutah’s, remain displaced and vulnerable, living in tents and unsafe conditions amid ongoing violence and limited space to relocate.
- Children have been heavily affected, with more than 300 killed since the ceasefire began, including 14-year-old Ismail al-Bardawil who was shot while fishing near the shore.
- Reconstruction efforts remain stalled more than a year after the ceasefire, leaving many Gazans skeptical about the prospects for peace and recovery as the humanitarian situation worsens.
