Report: Israel continues systematic attacks and blockade in Gaza despite 'ceasefire'
——
Over a month after the ceasefire in Gaza, Israel continues to impose conditions that devastate the lives of more than two million Palestinians. Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reports that the Israeli army has killed 242 civilians, including 85 children, and injured around 619 others since 10 October, averaging more than eight deaths and 20 injuries per day.
These attacks, combined with aerial and artillery bombardment, home destruction, and restrictions on movement, medical care, and reconstruction, indicate a sustained policy targeting Gaza’s population while exploiting the absence of international oversight.
The blockade continues to prevent essential humanitarian aid, with roughly 70% of required goods blocked and vital food and medical items restricted. Chronic hunger, rising child malnutrition, and shortages in vaccinations highlight the humanitarian crisis.
Israel also controls crossings such as Rafah, limiting the movement of civilians, including the sick and wounded, effectively maintaining a state of controlled deprivation and obstructing the second phase of the ceasefire. Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor argues that these actions contribute to dismantling Gaza’s geographical unity and risk forced displacement of its residents.
