Ceasefire.

20 0ct 2025

Since the announcement of the Gaza ‘ceasefire’, 97 Palestinians have been killed and 230 people have been wounded, with Israel violating the ceasefire 80 times according to Gaza’s Media Office. 

A ceasefire with Israel means everyone apart from Israel ceases fire, while Israel’s bombs and bullets continue falling.

Israel dropped 153 tonnes of bombs on Gaza on Sunday, 19 Oct.

Gaza’s Government Media Office says aid deliveries remain far below the levels promised under the ceasefire, accusing Israel of using relief as “humanitarian blackmail"

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha) has documented 71 attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians and their property in the occupied West Bank, in just one week

‘It’s like a nuclear bomb has hit’: shocked Palestinians return home to desolation

What the returnees found on arrival was complete desolation. Large swaths of the north had simply been flattened. Their homes and neighbourhoods were no longer recognisable. Their communities had been erased

The sheer scale of demolition left families with an awful dilemma: stay and seek shelter in the shattered stumps of their former homes, or return to the tented camps in the south where they had a better chance of finding food and water. And looming over that decision was the great unknown of how long the truce would last, and whether it would ever take hold as a lasting peace,

A forum like the Nuremberg Trials (1945-46) must be convened to hold Israeli authorities to account for their deadly deeds.  

Surveying the destruction:
    94% of hospitals were damaged or completely destroyed as of May 2025; as of October 2025, less than half of Gaza’s hospitals were even partially functioning 
    More than 80% of water and sanitation infrastructure had been destroyed by February 2025
    92% of all residential buildings have been damaged or destroyed 
    Only 1.5% of Gaza’s agricultural land remained undamaged and accessible as of August 2025, 90% cattle have died, and half of sheep and goat herds have been wiped out, decimating local food systems

5 Takeaways From the Ceasefire.

1. The ceasefire agreement brings immediate relief to Palestinians who are struggling to survive unimaginable conditions.

2. The Israeli government has a track record of breaking ceasefire agreements, and it could still resume the bombardment at any moment. 

3. Gaza has been completely devastated. Palestinians will feel the impacts of the genocide for decades to come.

4. This ceasefire agreement explicitly denies Palestinians the right to determine their own future and does nothing to hold Israel accountable for committing acts of genocide.

5. Our movement’s task is to ensure a permanent end to Israel’s genocide — what we have been demanding for the last two years — and to recommit ourselves to the long-term struggle for a free Palestine.
