Israel Kills Over 700 Palestinians Despite Six-Month Gaza Ceasefire

Six months after the ceasefire went into effect, Gaza remains engulfed in violence and humanitarian catastrophe.

The UN reported at least 715 Palestinians killed since the ceasefire, while Al Jazeera counted at least 41 dead in a single incident.

Israeli forces have violated the ceasefire nearly every day, killing 736 Palestinians and wounding 2,035 since the agreement.

The ceasefire was reached after two years of Israeli attacks that killed over 72,000 Palestinians.

Only two partially open checkpoints and less than 100 aid trucks are entering Gaza daily, far below the 600 promised.

Israeli forces killed nine-year-old Palestinian girl Ritaj Reyhan while she was attending class in a tent.

The Palestinian Ministry of Education described the incident as a brutal, gruesome, and horrific crime.

More than 700,000 students remain deprived of education after hundreds of schools were destroyed.

Humanitarian groups warned that at least two children per day have been killed or injured since the ceasefire.

More than 80% of buildings have been hit, with at least 123,000 completely destroyed.

The UN estimates 1.7 million Palestinians live in 1,600 sites, with 1.3 million in improvised shelters.

Of 283 health service locations, only 20 operate at full capacity.

Humanitarian organizations rated the ceasefire's civilian protection as fragile but found aid access, reconstruction, and freedom of movement all failing.

Fuel and medical supplies remain severely restricted, and food prices have soared between 3% and 233%.

Rahman Textile produced clothing for several European fashion brands, including the German retailer Hessen and the Dutch chain BrandBox, according to shipping records reviewed by the Guardian.

Hessen's compliance team had audited the factory in March, and Rahman Textile owner Faisal Rahman issued a statement claiming the factory had passed its most recent safety inspection in January.

Clean Clothes Campaign spokesperson Ineke Zeldenrust told the Guardian that the audit system was fundamentally broken.

The Dhaka Tribune reported that Rahman was being questioned about allegations that the factory's emergency exits had been welded shut to prevent worker theft.
