Ceasefire Anniversary, More Deaths
Israeli attacks across Gaza killed at least eight people, including an eight-year-old girl, on the “ceasefire” anniversary, according to medical sources cited by Al Jazeera. Shahd Abdul-Razzaq al-Najjar, 8, was killed on Saturday by an Israeli quadcopter drone in the al-Jawazat area of western Gaza City, and four people were killed in a separate Israeli bomb attack near Haider Abdel Shafi roundabout. The Gaza Strip’s Ministry of Health said at least 1,481 Palestinians have been killed and 5,254 injured since the so-called ceasefire came into effect on October 10 last year, and it added that Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has killed at least 74,370 people and injured 175,371 since October 7, 2023.
Al Jazeera’s Ibrahim al-Khalili said, “The ceasefire remains in place on paper, but on the ground, the threat to civilians has not gone away,” as he reported from the site of a drone strike west of Gaza City. The Al-Markers al-Filastini lil-Iʿlam report said the Gaza Center for Human Rights recorded 1,481 Palestinians killed over the year of the ceasefire, describing a rate of more than four martyrs per day.
Claims, Quotes, and Divergence
Israeli forces continue to kill and wound civilians and deny sufficient food, aid, and water to Palestinians in Gaza one year after a ceasefire agreement took effect on October 10, 2025. Sarah Sanbar, acting Israel and Palestine researcher at Human Rights Watch, said, “There is nothing normal about living in a tent under bombardment, without enough food or drinking water for your family.” More than 100 humanitarian, human rights and civil society organisations stated in a joint statement that the ceasefire in Gaza exists only in name.
The joint statement quoted by Al Jazeera said, “The ceasefire exists in name only, with Israeli forces continuing to kill and injure Palestinians daily, and restrictions on aid, equipment and rebuilding materials preventing families from recovering.” The Al-Markers al-Filastini lil-Iʿlam report added that the Gaza Center for Human Rights said 83.8% of the martyrs were targeted in air attacks and that 237 Palestinians were martyred by shooting from occupation sites near what is known as the Yellow Line.
What Comes Next, What’s at Risk
Other countries should take immediate measures to protect civilians and ensure that rights-based reconstruction begins, while it warned that aid volumes remain far below required levels and reconstruction has not yet begun. The Board of Peace, authorized under United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803, is tasked with assessing parties’ compliance with the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, and it said promises of humanitarian relief and restoration of essential civilian infrastructure are central to the plan. The report also said the World Health Organization recorded 56 attacks on health care in Gaza between January and August 2026, with just 35 of Gaza’s 57 hospitals and field hospitals partially functional and not one fully operational.
Human Rights Watch said the enclave’s Ministry of Health said in the past 24 hours Israeli attacks killed at least nine people and injured 65, adding that one more person succumbed to injuries sustained in previous Israeli aggression.
