Since the ceasefire, repeated 'Israeli' violations have killed 477 Palestinians and injured 1,301 others.
Humanitarian impact
The ceasefire followed a two-year genocidal war that began on October 8, 2023, which left over 71,000 Palestinians dead and more than 171,000 wounded. Approximately 90 percent of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure was destroyed, with the United Nations estimating reconstruction costs at $70 billion.
