One year after the truce, over 100 NGOs: "the ceasefire in Gaza exists only on paper"

This morning Redazione Zero had reported a gap in the Foreign Affairs and Geopolitics section, noting that the piece on the anniversary of the Gaza truce had not passed internal checks. By afternoon, the material gathered allows for publication of the story.

More than one hundred humanitarian organizations — including Amnesty International, Oxfam and Save the Children — have issued a joint statement denouncing that, one year after the truce agreement, the ceasefire in Gaza “exists only on paper”. According to the text, since the truce began Israeli forces have reportedly continued to kill and injure Palestinian civilians daily, with a death toll of over 1,400 during the period.

The signatory organizations also report that in the Strip nearly two million people still need shelter and that not a single hospital is fully functional.

The story currently stems from a single source — the joint statement from the more than one hundred humanitarian organizations, picked up by both Amnesty International and Al Jazeera — and no independent confirmations distinct from the content of that text are currently available. However, this is a direct and identified source, including organizations with operational presence on the ground.

The picture described by the NGOs focuses on two dimensions: the count of victims attributed to Israeli forces in the period following the agreement, and the material conditions of the population, with emphasis on the shortage of shelter and the paralysis of the hospital system.

The statement does not provide, in the material available, a monthly breakdown of the death toll nor a cross-verification of the figures by Israeli sources or third-party bodies: it remains, at present, the version put forward by the signatory humanitarian organizations.
