Despite the ceasefire, Israeli airstrikes continue to kill and wound Palestinians.

On Tuesday, Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem accused Israeli authorities of “disregarding” demands from mediators and international organizations to allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

“The Israeli occupation allowed only 200 trucks to enter Gaza on Monday, in continued breach of the ceasefire agreement, which stipulated the entry of 600 trucks daily,” he denounced.

Meanwhile, Bassam Zaqout, Gaza’s medical relief director, warned that the shortage of medical supplies and Israeli restrictions on crossings are threatening the lives of thousands of wounded and sick people. Between 5,000 and 10,000 cancer patients in the Gaza Strip are suffering from a lack of specialized medications and diagnostic equipment, he pointed out.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) also mentioned that People in Gaza are increasingly suffering from skin infections due to the surge in pests, including rats, lice, fleas, and mites.

Separately, two Palestinians, including a child, were killed and several others injured on Tuesday in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza City. Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Civil Defense, said that an Israeli airstrike targeted a police station in the Sheikh Radwan area in northwest Gaza City, killing a child and wounding five others, some critically.

In another incident, a Palestinian was killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a group of civilians in southern Gaza City, Basal said. Despite the fragile ceasefire, tensions persist in Gaza, with Israeli airstrikes continuing to kill and wound Palestinians.

Gaza-based health authorities said the death toll since the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas came into effect on Oct. 10, 2025, has risen to 834, with 2,365 wounded. The total number of Palestinians killed in the Israeli offensive on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, has reached 72,615, with 172,468 wounded.
