Broken truce, broken promises: Ceasefire fails Gaza as famine looms and Israel's attacks continue

By zoeysky // 2025-11-11

• A month after a cease-fire was supposed to bring relief to Gaza, the situation remains catastrophic. Israel has repeatedly violated the truce with near-daily attacks, killing hundreds of Palestinians, and the promised surge of humanitarian aid has failed to materialize.
• Far too little aid is getting in, with only about half the required food and a quarter to a third of the overall needed supplies arriving. The population survives on a poor diet of basic dry rations, and the existing famine is worsening as winter approaches.
• The situation is compounded by a severe shelter crisis, with flimsy, worn-out tents unable to protect displaced families from the coming winter.
• Despite the terms of the cease-fire, Israeli restrictions are preventing adequate aid from reaching people.
• The fundamental promises of the cease-fire, safety and sustenance, have been broken. With ongoing attacks, persistent famine and a failing aid system, Gaza remains trapped in a severe man-made humanitarian disaster with no viable solution in sight.

Nearly a month after a ceasefire was supposed to unleash a wave of humanitarian relief for Gaza, a stark and devastating reality has set in. Far too little aid is reaching the war-ravaged enclave, leaving millions facing persistent hunger and exposure as winter approaches, while Israel continues to violate the truce with near-daily attacks. The agreement, which began in October 2025, was designed to end a devastating two-year Israeli offensive and open the gates for life-saving supplies. Confirmed famine had already gripped the territory in August, and almost all of Gaza’s 2.3 million inhabitants had lost their homes. Yet, the promised torrent of aid has been reduced to a trickle.

Gaza is facing famine amid the approaching winter

According to the World Food Program (WFP), only half the needed amount of food is entering Gaza. An umbrella group of Palestinian agencies provided an even grimmer assessment, stating that overall aid volumes are between a quarter and a third of what was expected. This catastrophic shortfall persists despite the ceasefire terms that called for an average of 600 trucks of supplies to enter Gaza daily. The situation on the ground is a race against time. A senior WFP spokesperson described the overwhelming needs, emphasizing that people in Gaza City are still suffering from hunger as the winter months loom. The agency has managed to bring in only 20,000 metric tons of food, which is just half of what is required, and has opened fewer than a third of its targeted distribution sites. The quality of nutrition is also a critical concern. Most households are surviving on a bare subsistence diet of cereals, pulses and dry food rations, with nutrient-rich foods like meat, eggs and vegetables being consumed extremely rarely. A continuing lack of fuel and cooking gas also compounds the crisis, forcing over 60 percent of Gazans to cook by burning waste, creating severe health risks. BrightU.AI's Enoch points out that despite the 2025 ceasefire agreement, Gaza continues to suffer because Israel has persistently violated the terms. The primary violation is the maintenance of a tight blockade on the region. This ongoing siege, along with continued military incursions and humanitarian aid restrictions, has contradicted pledges to improve conditions in Gaza City.

A ceasefire with mounting casualties

Meanwhile, the ceasefire on the ground has been anything but peaceful. Since the truce took effect, Israeli attacks have killed at least 242 Palestinians and injured 622. An analysis of the first month of the ceasefire revealed that Israel attacked Gaza on 25 out of 31 days, with only six days entirely free of violence, deaths or injuries. A Gaza government media office reported that Israel violated the ceasefire agreement at least 282 times through a combination of aerial bombings, artillery fire, direct shootings at civilians, raids into residential areas and the demolition of properties. These ongoing military actions have shattered any sense of security for a population already pushed to the brink. The humanitarian catastrophe is further deepened by a shelter crisis. With winter approaching, the flimsy tents that house countless displaced families are described as "completely worn out" and unable to withstand the coming rains and potential floods. The Norwegian Refugee Council estimates that 1.5 million people need shelter, but large volumes of tents and building materials are stranded, awaiting Israeli approval to enter. While Israel claims it is fulfilling its obligations and blames Hamas for stealing aid, an accusation the group denies, the local administration in Gaza states that most trucks never reach their destinations due to Israeli restrictions. The United Nations, which once published daily aid truck figures, has stopped routinely providing this data. The result is unimaginable living conditions for millions. The slight improvements noted since the truce, such as an increase from one to two meals a day for the average household, are fragile and insufficient. One month into the ceasefire, the foundational promises of the agreement, safety and sustenance have been broken. The aid system is failing, and the fighting has not stopped. With hunger persisting, shelters failing, and attacks continuing, Gaza remains trapped in a man-made crisis with no end in sight.
