United Nations experts have called on member states to act immediately as Israel’s ongoing violations of the Gaza ceasefire threaten the “fragile” truce and put civilians at risk.
AA reports that since the ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas went into effect on October 10, Israeli forces have reportedly committed at least 393 violations, killing 339 Palestinians, including over 20 children, and injuring more than 870, the UN rapporteurs said in a statement.
Israeli airstrikes on October 28 marked the deadliest night since the truce began. It left at least 104 dead, they added.
They warned that despite the ceasefire, humanitarian access remains critically limited, with only two of six crossings open, aid deliveries far below targets, and major hospitals urgently needing supplies and equipment.
Escalating violence in the occupied West Bank was also highlighted, with attacks by Israeli settlers and soldiers on Palestinian civilians, land and property.
The experts also warned against Israeli parliamentary legislation extending sovereignty over parts of the West Bank, describing it as “absolutely prohibited.”
While welcoming the ceasefire, they stressed that accountability remains absent.
