What the report says

Al Jazeera reports that the aid group Islamic Relief is calling for stronger international action over continuing Israeli attacks in Gaza, saying Palestinians there have been killed or wounded on average every 90 minutes since a ceasefire was announced in October last year. The charity, a UK-based organization, said at least 1,454 Palestinians have been killed and more than 5,000 injured over the past year, including at least 320 children. Gaza’s Health Ministry gave a slightly different toll, saying 1,471 people have been killed and 5,189 wounded since the ceasefire period began.

The report said Israeli forces killed a Palestinian southeast of Deir el-Balah and wounded others in a strike on a house in central Khan Younis. It also said a 13-year-old boy was shot during an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank. Islamic Relief said the situation shows that, in practice, fighting has not stopped and that civilians remain exposed to attacks.

The charity also accused Israel of using the Yellow Line, a boundary marking territory under Israeli military control, to push Palestinians into a smaller part of Gaza. It said about 2.1 million people are being crowded into roughly 35 percent of the territory, while Israel continues to restrict shelter materials, fuel and medical supplies. The group said this is worsening already severe humanitarian conditions in an enclave where many buildings and health facilities have been damaged or destroyed. The report underscores the gap between a formal ceasefire and conditions on the ground, and why aid organizations are pressing governments to act.
