Six months into ‘ceasefire’, Gaza suffers under persistent Israeli attacks

Gaza’s devastation grows as over 72,000 people killed and 172,000 injured amid Israeli violations of US-brokered truce.

Since the Gaza “ceasefire” began six months ago, Israeli attacks have killed at least 738 people and injured more than 2,000, according to Palestine’s Ministry of Health.

Gaza faces unprecedented devastation, with more than 10 percent of its population killed or injured.

The death toll has surpassed 72,000 people, mostly children and women, with at least 172,000 injured and many others believed to be trapped under rubble.

Since the United States-brokered ceasefire took effect on October 10, Israel has violated the agreement thousands of times through near-daily attacks.

Following Israeli and United States attacks on Iran from February 28, Israeli authorities shut down all Gaza crossings, halting medical evacuations. This closure included the Rafah crossing, which, under the terms of the ceasefire, was supposed to allow 50 patients and their companions daily passage for medical treatment.
