UN warns of Israeli attacks and aid restrictions despite Gaza ceasefire
The United Nations said attacks have continued and the entry of humanitarian aid has been restricted in the Gaza Strip despite the ceasefire in effect since October 10, 2025. The UN said aid has been insufficient to meet the needs of the population because of funding shortages and access restrictions.
As the ceasefire continues in the Gaza Strip, the United Nations said Israeli attacks have continued and that serious restrictions remain on the delivery of humanitarian aid. The ceasefire has been in effect since October 10, 2025.
At a press briefing, Farhan Haq, deputy spokesperson for the UN secretary-general, said airstrikes, artillery fire, explosions targeting buildings, naval gunfire and armed attacks took place in various parts of Gaza on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Violations concentrated west of the Yellow Line
Haq said most of the violations occurred west of the line known as the “Yellow Line.” He stressed that civilians and civilian infrastructure must be protected under all circumstances.
The United Nations and its partners said they have continued delivering urgently needed supplies to Gaza, but that the amount of aid currently available does not meet the needs of the population.
Access to aid supplies restricted
Haq said assessments by the partners showed that aid operations had been limited by insufficient funding and restrictions imposed by Israel. These restrictions include limits on the import of vital supplies such as motor oil and spare parts.
It was also stated that the blocking of access to more than 64 percent of Gaza has made it more difficult to deliver aid.
Death toll rises amid ceasefire violations
According to the Gaza Strip Health Ministry, 1,501 Palestinians had been killed and 5,323 Palestinians injured in Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement as of Wednesday.
Since the attacks began in October 2023, more than 74,000 Palestinians have reportedly been killed, more than 175,000 injured and approximately 90 percent of Gaza’s infrastructure destroyed.
