Israel continues to bomb and shoot civilians in Gaza.
From the “ceasefire” declaration on 10 Oct. 2025 to 9 Feb. 2026, the Israeli military killed 581 people in Gaza, at least 100 of them children.
31 Jan.: 31 killed
1 Feb.: 26 killed
4 Feb.: 24 killed, among them 7 children.
According to international media, Israel attacked in Gaza on 86 of 101 days of “ceasefire” by mid-January.
Trump’s plan divided Gaza with the “yellow line,” leaving Israel with military control of about 50% of the territory. The army later seized additional areas, bringing Israeli control to 56%.
Since several kilometers of the “yellow line” are not marked on the ground, residents cannot know if they enter the “dangerous combat zone” defined by Israel.
In the last four months, Israel has killed 216 Palestinians west of the “yellow line” and another 167 near it.
Until the war, about 1 million people lived in the areas east of the line. They are now displaced west of it, living in impossible conditions in tent camps and precarious structures.
As of late January, about 1.3 million people are living in displacement sites across Gaza. Most are in makeshift tents that frequently flood, or in damaged structures at risk of collapse that offer no shelter from rain and wind.
Israel has destroyed Gaza’s infrastructure and healthcare system. Since December, at least 39 people have died of hypothermia or structures collapsing, more than half of them minors.
“Wet tent syndrome” is the name Gaza hospitals have given the health crisis brought on by the extreme cold, high humidity and poor ventilation in tents unfit for habitation. As a result, the number of hospitalized patients has doubled or even tripled within weeks.
Israel is restricting humanitarian aid and deliberately obstructing the delivery of food and medicine. In early January, it banned the operations of 37 humanitarian organizations providing more than half of all food aid in Gaza and supporting 60% of field hospitals.
In February, Rafah Crossing opened for the first time since May 2024. Yet while 18,500 patients await life‑saving treatment outside Gaza, Israel has allowed only a handful to leave. Residents report physical searches, humiliating interrogations and even arrests, including of patients, older people and women.
Despite some improvement in food availability, most residents cannot afford it. The UN projects that about 101,000 children aged six months to four years and about 37,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women will require treatment for acute malnutrition by October 2026.
The international community continues to turn its back on the people of Gaza.
Four months into the “ceasefire,” the killing, destruction and displacement in Gaza continue and Israel’s control over the residents remains unchecked.
