Since a US-brokered ceasefire between Hamas and Israel took effect last month, Israel has continued its deadly attacks across Gaza, killing at least 236 Palestinians and wounding more than 600 others, according to Gaza\u2019s Ministry of Health.<\/p>\n
In the past 24 hours alone, hospitals in Gaza reported the deaths of three more people and recovered three additional bodies from beneath collapsed buildings. Another person succumbed to injuries sustained in earlier attacks, the ministry said on Sunday.<\/p>\n list of 3 items<\/span>end of list<\/span><\/section>\n Among the latest victims was a Palestinian man killed by an Israeli drone strike in northern Gaza\u2019s Shujayea neighbourhood. The Israeli military said he had crossed the \u201cyellow line\u201d marking the ceasefire boundary and approached its troops, without offering evidence.<\/p>\n In a statement, the army claimed the man \u201cadvanced toward troops in the northern Gaza Strip, posing an immediate threat\u201d, prompting an air strike \u201cto remove the threat\u201d.<\/p>\n Gaza\u2019s Health Ministry also reported that since the truce began, the bodies of 500 Palestinians have been retrieved from under the rubble of destroyed homes and buildings \u2013 victims of Israel\u2019s two-year genocidal war and ongoing bombardment that left much of the enclave in ruins.<\/p>\n Separately on Sunday evening, the Israeli Prime Minister\u2019s Office said on X that three bodies of deceased Israeli captives have been received in Israel via the Red Cross.<\/p>\n As per the terms of the ceasefire, Israel must now return the bodies of 45 dead Palestinian prisoners, 15 for each Israeli captive returned.<\/p>\n Tensions deepened after the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) accused Hamas of looting an aid truck in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, without providing evidence. The claim followed the release of drone footage allegedly showing \u201csuspected Hamas elements\u201d commandeering humanitarian supplies.<\/p>\n Gaza\u2019s Government Media Office dismissed the allegations, accusing Washington of spreading disinformation to smear Palestinian authorities.<\/p>\n \u201cThis accusation is completely false and fabricated from its very foundation, and comes within the framework of a systematic media disinformation campaign aimed at distorting the image of the Palestinian police forces,\u201d the media office said.<\/p>\n It added that Gaza\u2019s police \u201care carrying out their national and humanitarian duty in securing aid and protecting relief convoys\u201d, despite Israel\u2019s continued interference.<\/p>\n \u201cThe police system is making every effort to control matters despite continued Israeli meddling in the internal arena, with several objectives, including engineering starvation by obstructing the delivery of aid,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n Hospitals in Gaza, already crippled by months of war and blockade, remain overwhelmed. More than 16,500 patients in need of specialised treatment remain trapped inside the besieged enclave, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).<\/p>\n A recent United Nations update showed that by September, Egypt had taken in the largest number of Palestinian evacuees for medical care \u2013 nearly 4,000 people. The United Arab Emirates received 1,450 patients, Qatar received 970, and Turkiye took in 437.<\/p>\n In Europe, Italy treated 201 Palestinian patients \u2013 the highest among European states \u2013 but thousands more, including 3,800 children, are still waiting for urgent medical evacuation abroad.<\/p>\n A study published in The Lancet medical journal this week underscored the human toll of Israel\u2019s genocide in Gaza. The report found that Gaza has lost more than a staggering three million years of human life since the start of the conflict in October 2023.<\/p>\n Researchers Sammy Zahran of Colorado State University and Ghassan Abu Sittah of the American University of Beirut analysed data from 60,199 recorded deaths between October 2023 and July 2025. Each death, they calculated, represented an average of 51 years of life lost \u2013 the majority being civilians.<\/p>\n More than one million of those life-years were lost among children under the age of 15. The authors noted that their estimates were conservative and excluded deaths caused by starvation, lack of medicine, and the collapse of infrastructure under Israel\u2019s siege.<\/p>\n With winter approaching, Gaza\u2019s displaced families are scrambling to rebuild any form of shelter amid Israel\u2019s restrictions on building materials, Al Jazeera\u2019s Ibrahim Al Khalili reported from Gaza City.<\/p>\n In Gaza\u2019s largest urban centre, the focus of Israeli carpeting bombing from August to October this year, 42-year-old Khalid al-Dahdouh, a father of five, has turned to traditional methods to erect a small mud shelter for his family, using bricks salvaged from the rubble.<\/p>\n \u201cWe tried to rebuild because winter is coming,\u201d al-Dahdouh told Al Jazeera. \u201cWe managed to lay just a few rows of bricks \u2013 we don\u2019t have tents or anything else. So, we built a primitive structure out of mud since there\u2019s no cement. As you can see, it protects us from the cold, insects, and rain \u2013 unlike the tents.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re just trying to survive the cold and the hunger. Ceasefire or not, Gaza is still under attack,\u201d al-Dahdouh said.<\/p>\n Inspired by him, his relative, Saif al-Bayek, attempted a similar effort but ran out of usable materials before finishing.<\/p>\n \u201cThe whole neighbourhood is in ruins,\u201d al-Bayek said. \u201cWe made the shelter out of mud using traditional methods, using whatever stones we could salvage, since there weren\u2019t enough to build a full room. Because of this, the structure is uneven, and the roof is full of gaps \u2013 if it rains heavily, water will come through.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere are severe challenges to reconstruction efforts. Many families are forced to rely on primitive building methods because they have no other choice,\u201d Alessandro Mrakic, the UN Development Programme\u2019s representative in Gaza, told Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n With hundreds of thousands of people still displaced, aid agencies warn that the situation could deteriorate further as temperatures drop.<\/p>\n While the ceasefire has halted large-scale bombardments, Palestinians in Gaza say their suffering continues \u2013 through hunger, homelessness, and the constant fear that Israel\u2019s war could reignite at any moment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Since a US-brokered ceasefire between Hamas and Israel took effect last month, Israel has continued its deadly attacks across Gaza, killing at least 236 Palestinians and wounding more than 600 others, according to Gaza\u2019s Ministry of Health.
