Israel's Genocide in Gaza Continues One Year into Ceasefire

LATEST MATERIAL CHANGE

What changed?

A year after a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip was announced, Physicians for Human Rights (PHRI) reports that Israel's prevention of meaningful recovery of Gaza's healthcare system persists. PHRI has monitored shortages of medical supplies, diagnostics, and treatment, as well as limited medical evacuations for critical patients. Since October 2025, PHRI has followed cases of children who died while awaiting medical evacuation due to Israel's blockage of the medical corridor between Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. The Gaza Ministry of Health reported acute deficits and depleted stocks of medical equipment in the summer of 2026, with some shortages increasing compared to the previous year. The Nasser Medical Complex ran out of syringes on October 2. PHRI demands that Israeli authorities restore the medical corridor, lift restrictions on aid entry, and allow reconstruction of Gaza's healthcare system and civilian infrastructure.

Why it matters

The continued destruction of Gaza's healthcare system and civilian infrastructure has severe consequences for the Palestinian population, highlighting the need for accountability and immediate action to restore essential conditions for a healthy and dignified life.
