Gaza Ceasefire Exists in Name only, Say More than 100 Organizations
The U.S.-brokered plan has stalled, with more than 1,400 Palestinians killed and talks deadlocked over Hamas disarmament and an Israeli withdrawal.
- Friday, October 9, 2026, marks one year since the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel, though over 1,400 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and more than 100 organizations warn the ceasefire exists in name only.
- The United States-led Board of Peace plan aimed to halt military operations and secure hostages, but stalled because Hamas refuses to disarm while Israeli troops remain in the Gaza Strip.
- Critical shortages persist in Gaza, where not one of the 36 hospitals is fully functioning, 1.4 million people face crisis-level hunger, and more than 18,500 patients need medical evacuation with over 1,000 having died waiting.
- Secretary-General Agnes Callmard of Amnesty International stated, "Accountability cannot be swept under the rubble," while Save the Children International CEO Inger Ashing warned children are still being killed.
- With legislative elections scheduled for October 27, uncertainty persists as the current situation reflects divided governance between the West Bank and Gaza Strip under separate, disconnected authorities.

Three years after the Hamas attacks of October 7th, the eyes are now turning towards Gaza. A fragile ceasefire has been in place for a year, but the Gaza Strip is hit every day, remains largely devastated and the population is facing extremely difficult living conditions, including food and access to essential services. Analysis with Anne Corpet, an international columnist in France 24.
Three years after the start of the war and one year after the ceasefire, the situation in Gaza remains harrowing. "Despite the ceasefire, 1,500 people have been killed and violence remains part of the daily reality," says Caroline Willemen (Doctors Without Borders). "What we see in Gaza remains indescribable."
One year after the entry into force of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, a new outcome of the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights reveals that the relative calm imposed by the agreement did not put an end to Israeli violations or to the worsening humanitarian crisis. The attacks continued at a less intense pace, while the basic necessities of life remained beyond the reach of large segments of the population of the Gaza Strip.
A year after the signing of a ceasefire, fewer people are being killed, but the country lies in ruins and millions are crammed together in horrible conditions.
