Israeli occupation forces have carried out 1,228 airstrikes and artillery shelling operations, along with 1,060 live fire attacks across Gaza since a ceasefire agreement was reached last October, according to a report submitted by the Palestinian side to mediators and obtained by Drop Site News.

The report places the total number of recorded ceasefire violations at 2,741. It also states that Tuesday alone saw 10 separate attacks across the territory, which resulted in the martyrdom of three Palestinians and injuries to dozens more. Among those killed was 15-year-old Mahmoud Mohammad Sahwil.

10 violations in one day; 15-year-old killed

The documented incidents describe continued military activity across several parts of Gaza. In one case, a strike on a vehicle on al-Jalaa Street in central Gaza City killed a civilian and wounded others, while Israeli forces simultaneously shelled areas in eastern Khan Younis.

Another drone strike reportedly targeted a motorcycle near the Kuwait Roundabout, south of Gaza City, killing one civilian and injuring several people. In the al-Bureij area, a girl was wounded after being hit by gunfire inside the al-Ikhwa shelter camp.

The report further notes that Mahmoud Mohammad Sahwil, 15, was killed in an airstrike on a building in Gaza City’s al-Nasr neighbourhood. Additional incidents included drone fire near Abu Humaid Roundabout in central Khan Younis, renewed shooting toward eastern Khan Younis, and artillery shelling in the northeast of the al-Bureij camp.

It also states that Israeli tank units moved into eastern central Gaza along Salah al-Din Road, backed by live fire and explosives dropped from drones, while residential structures east of Gaza City were demolished.

837 Palestinians killed since ceasefire

Since the ceasefire came into effect, the report says 837 Palestinians have been killed, including 216 children, 91 women, and 23 elderly people, while 2,381 have been injured. It adds that more than half of the casualties are children, women, or elderly individuals.

73 civilians have also been detained.

The document also states that Israeli forces remain in control of around 34 square kilometres beyond agreed withdrawal lines and have prevented reconstruction work on electricity, water, and sewage systems.

Humanitarian access, it says, continues to face severe restrictions. Only about 37.4% of agreed aid deliveries have entered Gaza, roughly 224 trucks per day compared with the agreed 600, while fuel shipments are at just 14.8% of required levels.

At the Rafah crossing, the report states it was fully closed on the day in question, with only 4,446 of 14,200 planned crossings completed, or about 31.3%. Medical evacuations and humanitarian movement, it adds, remain heavily constrained.

Not enough aid: UNRWA

UNRWA Communications Director Jonathan Fowler warns that humanitarian aid reaching Gaza remains far below what is needed in the war-torn Palestinian enclave.  

In an interview for Anadolu Agency, he stated, "There's not enough aid getting into the Gaza Strip. That's a fact. There has to be a huge increase. This was part of the ceasefire plan."

"Trying to get a massive augmentation in the amount of aid is something that we've been trying to do across the United Nations system since the ceasefire came into place. Because, it's not enough to bring in a survival minimum for the population," he added.

Health system in Gaza near collapse 

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health in Gaza warned of a worsening crisis in dialysis units, where at least 700 patients face declining access to care. Officials said the number of dialysis sessions has been reduced for some patients due to resource shortages, raising the risk of service disruption if supplies and maintenance needs are not met.

The UNRWA said the humanitarian situation is deteriorating, highlighting a surge in skin diseases linked to poor environmental conditions in overcrowded shelters.

The agency said its teams are treating about 40% of reported skin infection cases, which number in the thousands, noting that many children are unable to access necessary treatment.

UNRWA renewed its call for the large-scale entry of medical aid and essential medicines, warning that the health situation could further deteriorate without urgent intervention.
