One year after the so-called ceasefire in Gaza was reached with United States backing, it exists only on paper, according to more than 100 humanitarian, human rights and civil society organisations.

“The ceasefire exists in name only, with Israeli forces continuing to kill and injure Palestinians daily, and restrictions on aid, equipment and rebuilding materials preventing families from recovering,” a joint statement by the NGOs said on Friday.

Amnesty International, the Norwegian Refugee Council, Save the Children, Oxfam, Greenpeace and dozens of other international groups said Israeli attacks in the enclave have killed more than 1,400 Palestinians, including at least 327 children, in the year since US President Trump announced a deal to end hostilities as part of the Gaza Board of Peace framework.

“It is utterly shameful that a full year after the ceasefire was signed, so little has improved for Palestinians in Gaza,” Jan Egeland, secretary-general of the Norwegian Refugee Council, said in the joint statement.

Inger Ashing, chief executive of Save the Children, said, “A ceasefire is meaningless if children are still being killed and families are still unable to rebuild their lives.”

He noted that since the October 10, 2025 ceasefire was announced, “nearly one child has been killed every day.”

In the three years since Israel’s October 2023 genocidal war began, more than 74,000 Palestinians have been killed and 175,000 others wounded – about one in every 13 people in Gaza – according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

A conservative World Health Organization (WHO) estimate suggests roughly 24 percent of the wounded have life-changing injuries requiring long-term rehabilitation, a quarter of them children.

Gaza’s few remaining health facilities are overwhelmed and have dwindling supplies, and none of its 36 hospitals is operating at full capacity, with widespread shortages of medicine, equipment and fuel, Friday’s ministry statement said.

It said that more than 18,500 patients, including at least 4,000 children, need medical evacuation, and more than 1,000 have died while waiting.

Almost 2 million Palestinians in the enclave are also in desperate need of shelter, where 80 percent of structures are damaged, the statement said.

Norwegian Refugee Council’s Egeland warned that restrictions on equipment and construction materials continue to prevent recovery.

“Israeli restrictions are still preventing the required equipment or materials, which are the only ways for communities to begin rebuilding their lives,” he said.

At the same time, 1.4 million people in Gaza are “facing crisis-level hunger or worse through the end of the year”, the statement added.

On Friday in Gaza, Israeli forces shot dead at least one Palestinian after firing live ammunition at civilians in the al-Musaddar, Maghazi and Bureij refugee camp areas in the centre of the Strip, which also came under heavy Israeli artillery shelling.

In Khan Younis in the south, Israeli tanks directed heavy fire towards the Bani Suheila roundabout, where a number of injuries were reported.

On Thursday, at least eight Palestinians were killed and dozens injured in Israeli air strikes and shelling across Gaza.

Friday’s statement noted that Israeli forces had further squeezed the Palestinian population into an even more crowded environment by arbitrarily moving the so-called “Yellow Line”, established as a buffer to separate Israeli-controlled areas and the Palestinians as part of last year’s ceasefire framework.

The “ceasefire” took effect on October 10, 2025. Since then, Israel has killed at least 1,471 Palestinians and injured 5,189.

Three years of Israeli attacks have killed at least 74,254 Palestinians, including at least 21,000 children. That is about one in every 30 people, or 3 percent of the pre-war population.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health counts only deaths recorded at hospitals or officially registered. The true toll is likely much higher, as it excludes the thousands still buried in destroyed buildings or missing.

“Accountability cannot be buried under the rubble,” Agnes Callamard, the secretary-general of Amnesty International, said in the joint statement. “The persistent failure to hold Israel accountable and press Israel to comply with the International Court of Justice’s binding orders continues to fuel the atrocity crimes on a mass scale against Palestinians.”

据 100 多个人道主义组织、人权组织和民间社会组织称，在美方支持下达成的所谓加沙停火协议一年后，该协议仅存在于纸面上。

非政府组织周五发表联合声明称：“停火只是名义上的，以色列军队仍在每天继续杀害和伤害巴勒斯坦人，对援助、设备和重建材料的限制阻碍了巴勒斯坦家庭的重建。”

国际特赦组织、挪威难民理事会、救助儿童会、乐施会、绿色和平组织和其他数十个国际组织表示，自美国总统特朗普宣布达成一项旨在结束敌对行动的协议，作为加沙和平委员会框架的一部分以来，一年来，以色列在加沙地带的袭击已造成超过 1400 名巴勒斯坦人死亡，其中包括至少 327 名儿童。

“停火协议签署整整一年后，加沙巴勒斯坦人的处境却几乎没有改善，这真是令人感到无比羞耻，”挪威难民理事会秘书长扬·埃格兰在联合声明中表示。

救助儿童会首席执行官英格·阿辛表示：“如果儿童仍在被杀害，家庭仍然无法重建生活，那么停火就毫无意义。”

他指出，自 2025 年 10 月 10 日宣布停火以来，“几乎每天都有一名儿童丧生”。

据巴勒斯坦卫生部统计，自以色列于 2023 年 10 月发动种族灭绝战争以来的三年里，已有超过 74,000 名巴勒斯坦人丧生，另有 175,000 人受伤——加沙每 13 人中约有 1 人受伤。

世界卫生组织 (WHO) 的保守估计表明，约 24% 的伤者遭受了改变人生的伤势，需要长期康复治疗，其中四分之一是儿童。

卫生部周五发表声明称，加沙仅存的几家医疗机构不堪重负，物资供应日益减少，36 家医院均未满负荷运转，药品、设备和燃料普遍短缺。

报告称，超过 18500 名患者（包括至少 4000 名儿童）需要医疗转运，超过 1000 人在等待期间死亡。
