‘Neither war nor peace’: What Gaza looks like six months into ‘ceasefire’

Six months after a ceasefire agreement was signed on October 10, 2025, the situation in Gaza remains fragile, fluctuating between relative calm and recurring escalations. The agreement, intended to mark a turning point towards ending the war, has not been fulfilled, with reports indicating no complete withdrawal of Israeli forces and ongoing precarious humanitarian conditions. Promises of opening border crossings and facilitating aid have not been met, leaving the population in a challenging situation.
