Save the Children has confirmed that at least 21,000 children have died in Gaza during 1,000 days of war, according to a report cited by Turkey-based TRT World on Thursday. The organization said hundreds of thousands more children have been displaced and deprived of education. Despite losing homes, schools, and a sense of safety, many children continue to hope for peace.

Ahmad Alhendawi, the organization’s regional director for the Middle East, North Africa, and Eastern Europe, stated that the world has failed to protect one million children in Gaza over the past 1,000 days by not intervening to stop killings and injuries. Save the Children reported that about 80 percent of Gaza’s children—over 800,000—are displaced, and 625,000 school-age children have been out of formal education for three years.

The group called for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, accountability for crimes against children, and a halt to arms supplies to Israel. It noted that despite a ceasefire declared in October 2025, Israeli attacks have continued, leaving more than 73,000 people dead and Gaza largely in ruins.

Gaza has reached 1,000 days since the start of the war, with violence continuing despite a ceasefire that took effect on October 10. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, at least 1,053 Palestinians have been killed and more than 3,400 injured since the ceasefire began, including over 350 women and children. More than two million Palestinians remain displaced, living amid widespread destruction.

Under the ceasefire, Israeli forces initially controlled over half of Gaza but have since expanded their control, aiming to hold 70 percent of the territory. Movement in and out of Gaza remains severely restricted, and post-war reconstruction and disarmament efforts have stalled. The International Committee of the Red Cross said much more needs to be done to restore even a semblance of normal life.

The United Nations has warned that Israel’s territorial expansion in Gaza is increasing deadly risks for civilians, especially in areas without clear boundaries. Since October 7, 2023, a total of 73,066 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

A new report has alleged that Israel has been conducting what it calls a 'reproductive genocide' against Palestinians for decades. The report, published by the Palestinian Feminist Collective, claims that Israel’s destruction of medical facilities, killing of women and children, and creation of unlivable conditions have led to rising infertility among Palestinians. It states that these actions intensified after the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, with the aim of making normal life and future generations impossible for Palestinians.

A separate report from the United Nations’ top investigative body on Israel and Palestine also found that Israeli forces deliberately targeted Palestinian children as part of their Gaza operations. The UN report documented sniper and drone attacks, torture in detention, reproductive-related violence, and the destruction of schools and hospitals.

According to UN data, more than 21,000 Palestinian children have been killed in Gaza since October 2023, with about 5,160 more trapped under rubble. By October 2024, at least 15,000 children had lost their mothers.

An article published on July 1, 2026, examines the historical and ongoing role of Palestinian elites in suppressing popular resistance movements. It argues that from the early 20th century to the present, sections of the Palestinian upper class have collaborated with colonial powers, Zionist settlers, and later with the Palestinian Authority (PA) under Mahmoud Abbas to weaken grassroots resistance. The piece traces this pattern from the British Mandate period, when elite families in Jerusalem and Jaffa sided with colonial administrators, to the current PA’s alleged cooperation with Israeli forces in the West Bank.

The article recounts how early resistance movements led by farmers, workers, and middle-class intellectuals, such as the 1932 Independence Party, faced repression from both British authorities and elite Palestinian factions. It draws parallels between the suppression of the 1930s anti-colonial uprisings and the 2007 events involving the PA, Israel, and the United States. The author concludes that despite a century of elite collaboration, popular support among ordinary Palestinians continues to favor resistance movements.

The report situates these developments amid ongoing Israeli military actions in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon, portraying them as part of a long struggle between popular resistance and elite complicity.

The Gaza Health Ministry reported that at least 73,066 Palestinians have been killed and 173,514 injured since Israel began its military operations in October 2023. Despite a ceasefire that took effect last October, 1,053 Palestinians have been killed and 3,406 injured since then. In the past 24 hours alone, eight people were reported dead and 26 injured in Gaza.

The ministry stated that the humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate as the conflict between Israel and Hamas persists. The casualty figures released by the Gaza Health Ministry could not be independently verified. Israel has described its military actions as operations directed against Hamas.

The report underscores the severe human cost of the ongoing conflict and the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with no indication of a lasting resolution.

The medical emergency in the war-torn Gaza Strip is worsening, with the region’s health ministry reporting a sharp decline in access to treatment outside Gaza. According to ministry data, under a U.S.-led agreement reached last October, about 21,000 people were supposed to receive permission to leave Gaza for medical care. In reality, fewer than 7,500 have been allowed to travel, representing only 36 percent of the target.

Roughly one-third of those expected to travel were emergency patients, each entitled to two companions. Many of these patients remain trapped in Gaza without the necessary permits, facing life-threatening delays in treatment. Nasser Hospital continues to operate under extreme strain, hampered by severe shortages of medicines, medical equipment, and essential supplies.

The crisis has been compounded by Israeli military actions in Khan Younis, where ambulance vehicles were damaged during operations, and Nasser Hospital was raided twice. Health authorities report that the damaged ambulances, marked by bullet holes and fire damage, have drastically reduced the ability to transport and treat the wounded promptly.

The Gaza Government Media Office has accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement 3,465 times since it took effect in October 2025. According to the office, Israeli attacks during the ceasefire period have killed at least 1,045 Palestinians and injured another 3,380. The office also alleged that Israel failed to comply with the agreement’s humanitarian aid provisions.

Under the U.S.-brokered ceasefire, 156,000 aid trucks were supposed to enter Gaza, but the media office claimed Israel allowed only 55,539 trucks. In a statement, it accused Israel of pursuing a “policy of planned genocide” in Gaza and urged the ceasefire mediators to take effective measures to ensure Israel fulfills all terms of the signed agreement.

The Gaza Health Ministry reported that since Israel’s military campaign began in October 2023, at least 73,043 Palestinians have been killed and 173,417 injured in the Gaza Strip.

A doctor at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis has accused Israel of carrying out a 'health genocide' in Gaza, citing the collapse of medical services despite a ceasefire agreement. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, under the U.S.-mediated truce signed in October 2025, around 21,000 Palestinians were supposed to receive permission to leave Gaza for medical treatment. However, fewer than 7,500 have been able to leave so far, meaning only about 36 percent of the agreement has been implemented.

Al Jazeera’s Gaza correspondent Tareq Abu Azzoum reported that thousands of people approved for emergency evacuation remain trapped in Gaza, many of whom are unlikely to survive. Dr. Ahmed Al-Farra, head of the pediatric department at Nasser Hospital, said the situation has become the worst in a thousand days, with hospitals lacking supplies and staff. He described Israel’s actions as targeting the health sector and turning hospitals into unusable concrete shells.

The report highlights the ongoing humanitarian and medical crisis in Gaza despite the ceasefire framework intended to facilitate medical relief and patient transfers.

Israeli forces carried out drone strikes on tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in Gaza’s Al-Mawasi area on Saturday, killing several people including two siblings, 15-year-old Islam Musa and 30-year-old Abdullah Musa. The attack occurred in a zone previously designated as a ‘safe area’ under a declared ceasefire. Gaza’s Civil Defense reported rescuing seven injured individuals, who were taken to Nasser and Red Cross hospitals. A separate incident in southern Gaza claimed the life of a 10-year-old child who had been wounded earlier in an Israeli strike.

According to Al-Shifa Hospital, another tent sheltering displaced families in western Gaza City was also hit, injuring at least 12 people, mostly women. The Palestinian Red Crescent said two of the injured were in critical condition. Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Gaza reported that Israeli drone activity continues despite the ceasefire.

A recent United Nations report documented the targeting of children in Gaza, noting that nearly 30 percent of those killed since October 2023 were minors. UN Commissioner Chris Sidoti called the findings heartbreaking and urged states to act, while Gaza’s Health Ministry reported over 73,000 Palestinians killed since the conflict began.

According to data from the Gaza Health Ministry, at least 73,043 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip since Israel launched its military campaign in October 2023. The ministry released its latest report on Saturday, noting that 1,031 people have been killed and 3,309 injured since the ceasefire in October 2025.

The report further stated that the total number of injured individuals from Israeli attacks has risen to 173,417. These figures reflect the ongoing humanitarian toll in Gaza following nearly three years of conflict and intermittent ceasefires.

The data, cited by Al Jazeera, underscores the continuing devastation in the region and highlights the scale of casualties reported by Gaza’s health authorities.

At least 1,031 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip as Israeli forces continued attacks despite a declared ceasefire. The report states that the assaults took place across several areas of the besieged enclave, resulting in a high number of civilian casualties, including women and children.

The ongoing violence has raised serious doubts about the effectiveness of the ceasefire agreement. Although international calls for an end to the conflict and discussions on maintaining the truce have persisted, the situation on the ground shows continued Israeli military operations and sustained civilian suffering in Gaza.

The report, citing Al Jazeera, highlights that Israel’s persistent offensives during the ceasefire period have undermined confidence in the truce and intensified global concern over the humanitarian toll in Gaza.

Israeli forces shot and killed an unarmed Palestinian man inside his bedroom during a raid in the occupied West Bank. The incident occurred on Tuesday in the village of Sarta, west of Salfit, according to local media reports. The victim, identified as Mustafa Taha Mustafa al-Khatib, was hit multiple times in the chest, head, and arm. His uncle, Yasin al-Khatib, said the soldiers broke into the house after Mustafa delayed opening the door because he had been asleep.

According to Yasin al-Khatib, Israeli troops entered the bedroom and opened fire as Mustafa was trying to get dressed. Local residents were prevented from providing first aid, and he died from his injuries before medical workers could reach him. After the soldiers withdrew, his body was taken to a hospital.

The report noted that such late-night raids by Israeli forces are frequent in the occupied West Bank, often resulting in deaths and arrests. Palestinian prisoner rights groups say around 9,300 Palestinians are currently held in Israeli prisons, nearly half without charge or trial.

A new report by the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry has accused Israel of deliberately targeting Palestinian children in Gaza, describing the ongoing actions as part of a continuing genocide. Released on Tuesday, the report found that about 30 percent of those killed in Israeli attacks since the start of the Gaza war were children. It said that even after a ceasefire in October 2025, Israeli forces continued to target and kill children, demonstrating what the commission called a genocidal intent to destroy Palestinians in whole or in part.

Commission chair Srinivasan Murlidhar stated that evidence clearly showed Israeli security forces intentionally targeted and killed Palestinian children. The report also documented heavy use of explosive weapons in densely populated areas, widespread displacement, and blockades that created famine-like conditions. Attacks on hospitals and maternity wards reduced newborn survival rates and increased miscarriages, leaving nearly all children in Gaza in need of urgent mental health support.

Israel’s mission in Geneva rejected the UN report as false and fabricated, while human rights groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have echoed concerns about systematic destruction of Palestinian life.

More than a thousand Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since a ceasefire agreement took effect last October, according to local observers. The latest airstrike, which killed an entire family and a journalist, has renewed doubts about the ceasefire’s effectiveness and raised questions about civilian safety.

Analysts cited in the report argue that Israel views the ceasefire primarily as a mechanism to prevent attacks on its soldiers, while maintaining the right to carry out strikes when deemed necessary. Despite the agreement being in place for about nine months, civilian casualties continue to rise, with multiple members of the same families increasingly among the victims.

The absence of clear explanations from the Israeli military regarding these attacks has deepened public concern in Gaza. Observers warn that the ongoing civilian deaths highlight a failure to ensure protection for noncombatants and cast doubt on the practical enforcement of the ceasefire.

Israeli forces have continued attacks on the blockaded Gaza Strip despite a ceasefire declared in October last year. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, at least five Palestinians were killed and 43 others injured in Israeli strikes over the past 48 hours. The information was reported by Al Jazeera, citing the ministry’s daily statistical report.

The report stated that Israeli aggression has not ceased since the ceasefire took effect. During this period, a total of 1,012 Palestinians have been confirmed dead and 3,208 injured as a result of Israeli attacks. The ongoing violence highlights the continued instability in Gaza despite formal declarations of truce.

The situation underscores the fragility of the ceasefire and the persistent humanitarian toll on Gaza’s population, as documented by health authorities.
