The Gaza Government Media Office has accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement 875 times since it took effect on October 10, 2025. According to the office’s statement released Monday, Israeli attacks have killed at least 411 Palestinians and injured 1,112 others during this period. The reported violations include 265 incidents of direct gunfire at civilians, 49 military incursions into residential areas, 421 shelling operations, and the destruction of 150 homes.

The office further alleged that Israel has failed to meet its humanitarian obligations under the truce. Only 17,819 of the 42,800 aid trucks agreed upon have entered Gaza, averaging 244 per day instead of the expected 600. Fuel deliveries have reached just 10% of the agreed amount, with only 394 trucks allowed in. Officials warned that hospitals, bakeries, and water systems are near collapse, creating an “unprecedented humanitarian crisis.”

The statement urged mediating nations and the international community to ensure safe delivery of aid and fuel, warning that without immediate action, Gaza’s humanitarian disaster will deepen further.

Gaza’s Health Ministry has warned of a critical collapse in the territory’s healthcare system as Israel’s blockade continues despite a declared ceasefire. In a press briefing at Al-Shifa Hospital, officials reported that 52% of essential medicines and 71% of medical equipment are now unavailable, leaving hospitals unable to meet basic patient needs.

According to ministry data, supplies of 321 essential drugs have completely run out, while shortages in emergency and intensive care services have reached 38%. Around 200,000 patients risk losing emergency care, and 1,000 cancer patients are reportedly without treatment due to a 70% shortage in oncology drugs. Dialysis services for 650 kidney patients have also been disrupted. Cardiac surgeries and orthopedic operations have largely been suspended due to the lack of critical materials.

Health officials have appealed for immediate international intervention to restore medical supply routes. Humanitarian agencies warn that continued restrictions could lead to a full-scale health disaster in Gaza if aid access is not urgently restored.

Two Palestinians, including a 16-year-old boy, were killed and two others injured in Israeli military operations across the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The incidents occurred near Jenin, in the towns of Qabatiya and Silat al-Harithiya, where witnesses reported extensive Israeli raids. The body of the teenage victim remains in Israeli custody.

The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported additional injuries in separate shootings near the Nur Shams refugee camp and Al-Ram, north of Jerusalem. Since October 2023, Israeli forces and settlers have killed over 1,100 Palestinians, injured around 11,000, and detained more than 21,000 in the West Bank. The International Court of Justice ruled in July that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements.

The latest violence underscores the ongoing volatility in the West Bank despite international legal pressure. Human rights groups warn that continued military operations risk further destabilization and humanitarian deterioration in the region.

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced that 1,092 patients in Gaza have died while awaiting permission to leave the enclave for medical treatment. The deaths occurred over the past 18 months, as the territory remains under blockade and frequent Israeli attacks. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that 10,600 critically ill patients, including 5,600 children, have been evacuated during the same period, but thousands still need urgent transfers.

WHO spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic stated that 18,500 patients, including 4,000 children, are still waiting for medical evacuation, many of whom cannot afford further delays. The organization urged more countries to open their borders to Palestinian patients, warning that lives are at stake. Meanwhile, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have proposed a $112 billion plan to rebuild Gaza over ten years, with the U.S. covering 20% of the cost.

Israeli bombardments continue despite ceasefire talks, killing at least six people in Gaza City on Friday. The Palestinian Health Ministry reports over 70,000 deaths since the start of the conflict, underscoring the worsening humanitarian crisis.

The United States, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey have jointly called on all parties involved in the Gaza ceasefire to uphold their commitments and exercise restraint. The appeal followed a meeting in Miami, where U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff discussed the Gaza peace plan with representatives from the four mediating nations. The meeting reviewed the first phase of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which began on October 10.

The talks took place against the backdrop of renewed Israeli strikes in Gaza. According to Gaza’s Civil Defense Department, six people were killed in an airstrike on a school sheltering displaced civilians, bringing the total Palestinian death toll since the ceasefire’s implementation to around 400. Witkoff reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan and urged cooperation in monitoring compliance.

Officials noted progress in humanitarian aid delivery, partial troop withdrawals, and the return of prisoners’ remains. Discussions also addressed the framework for the ceasefire’s second phase, aimed at sustaining stability and reducing hostilities.

The Gaza Civil Defense announced on Saturday that 94 bodies of Palestinians were recovered from beneath the rubble in Gaza City. The bodies were transferred for forensic examination before being sent to Deir al-Balah for burial. The recovery operation comes amid continued devastation following Israeli airstrikes that began in October 2023.

According to Gaza’s health authorities, more than 70,700 Palestinians have been killed and over 171,000 injured since the conflict began, with women and children comprising the majority of casualties. Civil Defense officials said they have relocated thousands of bodies previously buried in temporary sites, in cooperation with the Health and Religious Affairs ministries.

Although a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was declared on October 10, reports indicate that Israeli attacks have persisted, violating the truce. Humanitarian agencies warn that thousands more remain trapped under debris, underscoring the severe toll of the prolonged conflict on Gaza’s civilian population.

For the first time in two years, students have returned to in-person classes at Gaza’s Islamic University, reopening amid widespread destruction and displacement caused by Israeli military operations. The partial resumption of teaching marks a fragile step toward normalcy on a campus that has been largely reduced to rubble, with only four classrooms currently functional.

According to Al Jazeera, around 500 displaced families are now sheltering within the university grounds, where lecture halls have become makeshift living spaces. UNESCO reports that more than 95% of Gaza’s higher education institutions have been damaged or destroyed since the 2023 conflict began. Human rights groups and UN experts have described the systematic devastation of Gaza’s education sector as “scholasticide.”

Despite dire conditions, faculty members continue teaching with minimal resources, covering open walls with plastic sheets and borrowing generators for electricity. Observers warn that the destruction of schools and universities threatens the social and intellectual foundation of Palestinian society, with over 750,000 students deprived of education for two consecutive academic years.

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has warned that while famine in Gaza has been averted following the recent ceasefire, the humanitarian situation remains dire. Speaking at UN headquarters in New York, Guterres said over 75% of Gaza’s population—around 1.6 million people—are suffering from severe food insecurity and face heightened risks of malnutrition.

Guterres urged all parties to ensure a sustainable ceasefire and called for the removal of restrictions on border crossings, the entry of essential supplies, and bureaucratic barriers that hinder aid delivery. He emphasized the need for safe routes within Gaza, consistent donor funding, and uninterrupted access for humanitarian agencies. The UN chief also highlighted worsening conditions in the West Bank, where Palestinians face escalating settler violence, land seizures, and home demolitions.

Guterres stressed that advancing to the second phase of the peace plan is essential, warning that continued inaction would deepen the crisis and prolong civilian suffering across the occupied territories.

At least six people were killed when an Israeli airstrike hit a wedding ceremony in Gaza City on Wednesday. The attack targeted the second floor of a school that had been converted into a shelter, according to local media. The incident occurred as representatives from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey were in the United States to discuss the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

Gaza’s media office reported that Israel has violated the US-brokered truce more than 500 times since it took effect in October. The Israeli military said its forces identified several suspected individuals in the northern Gaza ‘Yellow Line’ area and opened fire to neutralize what it described as a threat. Meanwhile, US envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed ongoing talks in Miami with regional partners, including the UAE, to shape Gaza’s future governance.

Washington’s proposal reportedly includes forming a Palestinian technocratic committee, establishing a peace board, and deploying an international force in the territory. Analysts say the latest strike could complicate diplomatic efforts to sustain the fragile ceasefire.

A one-month-old Palestinian infant has died in Gaza due to severe cold, bringing the winter-related death toll to 13, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Aid agencies warn that the lack of blankets, heaters, and warm clothing is worsening the humanitarian crisis among displaced families living in makeshift shelters. Israeli restrictions on the entry of relief materials have further limited access to essential winter supplies.

Civil Defense officials have cautioned that children are at particular risk as millions remain without adequate shelter or heating. Most housing in Gaza has been destroyed, forcing families to live in tents that offer little protection from rain and freezing temperatures. The Government Media Office in Gaza accused Israel of failing to uphold ceasefire and humanitarian commitments made in October.

Since October 2023, more than 70,700 Palestinians—mostly women and children—have been killed and over 171,000 injured in the ongoing conflict, leaving Gaza in ruins and heightening the risk of further humanitarian catastrophe as winter intensifies.

The United Nations has warned that heavy rainfall has severely worsened living conditions for hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians in Gaza. UNICEF spokesperson Jonathan Cricks described the weather as 'horrific,' noting that flooding reached up to 15 centimeters near his office. The Hamas-run health ministry reported that one child died from hypothermia and at least 11 others were killed when buildings collapsed due to the storm.

Despite a ceasefire in place for nine weeks, UN agencies say aid remains insufficient. Around 55,000 families have been affected by the flooding, losing their shelters and belongings, while more than 40 emergency centers have been inundated. Cricks said many families are trying to remove water with buckets, and children in wet clothes face severe health risks.

The UN estimates that roughly one million people are living in tents or makeshift shelters, many of which are at risk of collapse in strong winds. Aid agencies are calling for urgent international assistance to prevent further humanitarian deterioration as winter intensifies.

UK-based humanitarian group Save the Children has reported that it has been unable to deliver its own relief supplies to Gaza since March, when Israel imposed a full blockade on the enclave. Despite a ceasefire taking effect on October 10, the organization said that no change has occurred in its ability to bring in tents, blankets, and other essential materials.

Severe storms have recently caused extensive damage across Gaza, heightening the need for emergency shelter and supplies. Save the Children’s Gaza media manager, Shorouq, told Al Jazeera that only limited aid has entered through the United Nations, insufficient to meet the population’s basic needs. An aid worker, speaking anonymously, described desperate conditions as Palestinians struggle to find safe shelter.

The organization has attempted to source materials locally, but these efforts have been described as a “drop in the ocean” compared to the overwhelming demand. Humanitarian agencies continue to urge Israel to ease restrictions to prevent a deeper crisis in Gaza’s already fragile humanitarian situation.

A two-week-old Palestinian infant has died from hypothermia in Gaza as freezing temperatures sweep through the war-torn enclave. The Gaza Health Ministry confirmed the death of Mohammad Khalil Abu al-Khair, citing a lack of heating, electricity, and shelter. Al Jazeera’s correspondent Tareq Abu Azzoum reported that the baby’s death reflects the collapse of Gaza’s basic infrastructure following prolonged Israeli bombardments.

Families are living in makeshift tents on wet ground without adequate clothing or heating. Humanitarian agencies say Israel’s restrictions on fuel, food, and aid deliveries have worsened the crisis. A displaced mother told Al Jazeera that residents are drying children’s clothes over open fires to survive. Recent storms have killed at least 11 others as heavy rain and wind destroyed fragile shelters.

The ongoing blockade and destruction have left over 80% of Gaza’s infrastructure in ruins, forcing millions into overcrowded camps. Aid groups warn that without immediate humanitarian access, more deaths from cold and disease are likely in the coming weeks.

United Nations Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, and several Gaza-based doctors have been nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. The announcement was made by European Parliament member Matjaž Nemec after the formal submission of the nomination to the Norwegian Nobel Committee on December 16, 2025.

Nemec stated that nearly 300 qualified nominators from 33 countries, including Brazil, South Africa, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, endorsed the proposal. He described the nomination as a tribute to courage and resilience in defending humanitarian values under extreme conditions. Albanese was praised for upholding international law and human rights despite political pressure from Israel and the United States. Gaza doctors such as Dr. Husam Abu Safiya and Dr. Sara Al-Saqqa were recognized for their work saving lives amid collapsing health infrastructure and severe shortages.

The nomination calls on global leaders to respect international law and human dignity. It comes as Gaza continues to face devastating humanitarian conditions, with over 70,000 Palestinians reported killed since October 2023 despite ceasefire agreements.

Gaza’s Civil Defense teams have recovered the bodies of 30 members of the same family from the rubble of a destroyed home in western Gaza City. Officials said all the victims belonged to the Salem family, who were killed during an Israeli airstrike on their house in the Al-Rimal neighborhood on December 19, 2023. Authorities believe that as many as 60 family members may have died in that single strike.

The recovery marks the first operation under a broader effort by Gaza’s Civil Defense to locate thousands of Palestinians still trapped beneath collapsed buildings across the enclave. Despite operating with limited equipment, including only one excavator, rescue teams have vowed to continue their search.

Palestinian officials stated that Israeli forces still control more than half of Gaza’s territory despite a declared ceasefire, with continued attacks reported in several areas. The discovery highlights the ongoing humanitarian crisis and the immense challenges facing recovery operations amid widespread destruction.
