A joint report by the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) and the Palestinian Agricultural Development Association (PARC) on conditions in the Gaza Strip found that ongoing attacks and restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid have pushed life in the region to inhumane levels. The organizations interviewed 195 displaced Palestinians from Gaza for the study.
The report said more than 1,400 people have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect on October 10, 2025, and that ceasefire violations have continued.
Thousands face threat near the Yellow Line
The report said residents in areas where Israeli control extends to the Yellow Line fear attacks every day, adding that around 13,000 people near the Yellow Line face the threat of displacement. The assessment was based on field observations by DRC staff.

The report described the area near the Yellow Line as a zone where civilians face danger daily and risk being shot at. It said residents avoid going outside at night because of searchlights, drones and stray bullets.

Shelter, water and sanitation services inadequate
Hani al-Ramlewi, PARC’s director of development and strategic partnerships, said the people of Gaza were continuing to live in desperation and at the limits of their strength. Al-Ramlewi said shelters were unsafe, accessing clean water required a daily struggle, and sewage was flowing into the streets because sanitation systems had been destroyed.
The report also noted that some families were struggling to feed their children and that poor conditions in shelters threatened children’s safety.
