Three years after the Gaza war began on October 7, 2023, the October 2025 ceasefire has not ended ongoing attacks, displacement, or destruction.
- Gaza's Health Ministry says 1,462 Palestinians have been killed since the October 2025 ceasefire took effect and attacks have continued.
- The World Health Organization says more than 1.7 million Palestinians remain displaced, most living in overcrowded shelters.
- UNICEF says nearly 98 percent of Gaza's schools have been damaged or destroyed, and some 700,000 children have missed nearly three years of in-person education.
- A UN satellite assessment found 201,290 buildings — 82 percent of the total — damaged by June 2026, including more than 134,000 destroyed.
