Gaza Faces Daily Strikes as Ceasefire Stalls
Palestinians in Gaza continue to endure daily Israeli strikes and a stalled peace deal three years after the Hamas attacks of Oct. 7 ignited the conflict. More than 100 non-governmental organizations state that the Gaza ceasefire exists in name only, leaving residents to cope with disease, despair, ruins, and ongoing violence. Israel has killed or wounded a Palestinian every 90 minutes in Gaza since the ceasefire began, according to reports. Families across Israel and Gaza still grapple with the lasting pain and memory of children lost during the war.
Why it matters
The ongoing hostilities persist a year into a stalled peace plan, maintaining a state of neither war nor peace in the territory. International aid groups describe the current environment as an asphyxiation of Gaza that dismantles basic survival means. The prolonged crisis enters its fourth year with little resolution for displaced and grieving families on either side.
