Overview
- The ceasefire tied to President Trump’s plan has not ended fighting, with Israeli strikes reported daily and Hamas holding roughly one-third of Gaza territory not occupied by Israeli forces.
- Gaza’s health ministry reports about 73,000 killed and 173,205 wounded since 2023, and roughly 981 deaths have been recorded during the ceasefire period.
- A UN commission published this week documented 249 cases of executions, severe beatings and other abuses by forces linked to Hamas between August 2024 and January 2026 and said some conduct could amount to war crimes.
- Humanitarian actors and about twenty countries, including Spain, have denounced a catastrophic aid collapse caused by near-total restrictions on basic relief and the expulsion or suspension of NGOs operating in Gaza.
- Reports of hospitals used for interrogations and MSF suspending activities, plus an international tally that attributes over half of 22,600 explosive‑weapon civilian deaths in 2025 to Israeli forces, raise urgent questions about accountability and widening civilian harm.
