Gaza families face new evacuations and food shortages a year after ceasefire
A year after the October ceasefire, Israeli evacuation orders and ongoing attacks have kept Palestinians in Gaza displaced, with thousands killed, wounded and facing severe food insecurity.
One year after the US-mediated ceasefire, Gaza inhabitants continue to endure forced relocations, with the Israeli military issuing evacuation orders that give residents only minutes to flee and are often followed by bombings, as seen in the al-Abbas block incident on 8 September. The Palestinian Ministry of Health records 1,381 Palestinian deaths and 4,757 injuries since the truce began, averaging roughly four fatalities per day.
The Israeli-established “yellow line” has moved westward, now covering about 70 % of the strip and turning large civilian areas into no-go zones. Food scarcity remains acute, with 64 % of Gazans classified at crisis-level insecurity and previous malnutrition deaths still influencing health outcomes. Witnesses like Om Siraj al-Muzeini and Ahmed Jendiya describe daily uncertainty, loss of shelter, and the looming risk of starvation if border closures resume.
Why it matters
The story shows that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza persists despite the ceasefire, affecting millions of civilians.
