A UN official has warned that the ongoing conflict in Gaza remains at risk of escalating, with both Israel and Hamas failing to fully meet their commitments under the ceasefire agreement.
A senior UN official has expressed concerns over the continued violence in Gaza, highlighting that both Israel and Hamas have not fully adhered to their commitments under the ceasefire agreement. The UN reports that approximately two-thirds of Gaza's two million residents are currently living in tents or makeshift shelters.
The UN Security Council was briefed on the situation following Israel's rejection of a 15-point roadmap for Hamas's disarmament, which was proposed by the Board of Peace. Hamas has agreed to surrender its weapons in exchange for a phased Israeli troop withdrawal, but Israel insists on full disarmament before any pullout. At least 1,303 Palestinians, including 300 children, have been killed in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire began.
Why it matters
The failure to meet ceasefire commitments increases the likelihood of renewed violence and civilian casualties.
