Gaza —
Israel has once again breached the ceasefire agreement, imposing a total ban on humanitarian aid entry into Gaza, further worsening an already dire humanitarian crisis.
According to Israeli media, the government has instructed its military to halt all aid deliveries through Gaza’s border crossings “until further notice.” The move, officials claim, is in response to alleged ceasefire violations by Hamas — accusations that Palestinian authorities have firmly rejected as “unfounded and politically motivated.”
The blockade has immediately impacted hospitals, refugee camps, and displaced civilians, with acute shortages of food, water, fuel, and medicine threatening the lives of thousands. Aid groups warn that Gaza is on the brink of total collapse if supplies do not resume soon.
The decision comes just a day after Israeli airstrikes across Gaza killed at least 20 Palestinians, in what the Israeli military called “retaliatory operations.” Independent sources, however, report that the strikes hit civilian neighborhoods and infrastructure, not militant targets.
The current truce — brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump and implemented on October 10 — had temporarily halted two years of devastating conflict between Israel and Hamas. But with continued airstrikes and the aid blockade, the ceasefire now appears on the verge of collapse.
Reports indicate that Israeli artillery also shelled the Khan Younis, Abasan, and al-Zannah areas in southern Gaza, destroying homes and displacing families once again.
Human rights organizations have condemned the move as a flagrant violation of international law, calling the aid ban a form of collective punishment against Gaza’s civilian population.
As humanitarian convoys wait at the Rafah crossing and the world watches in silence, Gaza’s people face yet another dark chapter — trapped between war, politics, and a vanishing hope for peace.
