One Year Later, Gaza Ceasefire Deemed a Failure by Humanitarian Groups

The coalition reports that Israeli forces have consistently operated beyond agreed withdrawal lines, forcing the remaining population into increasingly cramped and dangerous conditions. Satellite imagery confirms the widespread destruction of residential neighborhoods and agricultural land, leaving families to choose between sheltering in unstable, damaged buildings or enduring extreme temperatures in tents.

Jan Egeland of the Norwegian Refugee Council described the lack of progress as shameful, noting that restrictive policies continue to block essential materials needed for reconstruction. Inger Ashing, CEO of Save the Children, argued that the ceasefire remains meaningless as long as violence persists and families are barred from rebuilding their lives. Agnes Callamard, secretary general of Amnesty International, called for international intervention, insisting that accountability for the ongoing crisis must be grounded in international law and the enforcement of binding court orders.

Shayna Lewis, deputy director of Win Without War, directly criticized the administration of US President Donald Trump, characterizing the current bloodshed as the result of a flawed peace plan that lacks enforcement mechanisms. She contended that the international community’s failure to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has effectively permitted the continuation of hostilities and the restriction of humanitarian access.
