The Israeli regime continued to violate the declared ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, with renewed artillery shelling, airstrikes and live fire leaving a Palestinian child martyred and several others wounded, local medical sources reported.

According to health officials in Gaza, a child was killed in an attack targeting the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern part of the enclave, while another child was injured in the same assault. In southern Gaza, a Palestinian was wounded after occupation forces opened fire in the al-Mawasi area west of Rafah.

In the central region near al-Mughraqa, close to Nuseirat, an Israeli drone reportedly dropped an explosive device near civilians, injuring at least one person who was later transferred to hospital for treatment. Simultaneously, eastern Khan Younis was subjected to heavy artillery fire, while airstrikes targeted areas east of Rafah and Khan Younis.

The renewed attacks come 129 days after a ceasefire was announced, yet military operations and armed assaults have continued on the ground.

Rising toll despite ceasefire

According to figures released by Palestinian sources, 630 Palestinians have been martyred since the ceasefire took effect. Among them are 194 children, 84 women and 22 elderly individuals. During the same period, 1,623 people have been injured, including 501 children and 324 women.

The total number of documented ceasefire violations has reached 1,734. These reportedly include 793 bombardments, 617 armed attacks and 241 cases of home demolitions. On average, more than 13 violations per day have been recorded.

International media outlets such as Reuters and Al Jazeera English have reported in recent weeks on recurring Israeli strikes in Gaza despite ceasefire announcements, as well as the mounting humanitarian toll in the besieged enclave. However, casualty figures and classifications are often attributed to Palestinian health authorities due to limited independent access to the area.

Aid and fuel shortages deepen crisis

Under the terms of the ceasefire framework, 600 aid trucks and 50 fuel trucks per day were expected to enter Gaza. Yet Palestinian officials state that actual deliveries have reached only 43 percent of that target.

Since the beginning of the ceasefire, 32,836 aid trucks have reportedly entered Gaza, but only 934 of them carried fuel — approximately 14.5 percent of the estimated need. Fuel shortages have severely disrupted hospital operations, water desalination systems, sewage infrastructure and electricity supply, exacerbating what humanitarian agencies describe as a deepening crisis.

The Rafah Crossing has also continued to face restrictions on passenger movement. The actual number of crossings has reportedly reached only 33.8 percent of the planned total, with critically ill patients and civilians in urgent humanitarian need facing delays.

Observers warn that continued military escalation and restrictions on humanitarian access risk further destabilizing the already fragile situation. The latest incidents underscore ongoing tensions and raise questions about the durability of the ceasefire agreement amid persistent violations and deteriorating living conditions in Gaza. (ILKHA)
