Gaza's October 2025 Ceasefire Has Failed to Stop the Violence

A ceasefire (a formal agreement to pause fighting) signed in October 2025 has not halted hostilities in Gaza. Israeli strikes continue in displacement zones, targeting militants near shelters. The Palestinian Health Ministry reports 1,288 deaths since the deal — roughly two to three daily — raising the war's total to 73,422 killed. Humanitarian agencies had warned the civilian toll was inevitable.
