Human Rights Watch report finding that more than six months into the October 2025 ceasefire, Israeli authorities are systematically undermining humanitarian lifelines in Gaza while continuing to kill Palestinian civilians. Israeli attacks have killed at least 856 Palestinians and wounded 2,463 others. On February 28, 2026, Israeli authorities closed all crossings into Gaza, with trucks entering in the following weeks falling from a weekly average of 4,200 to just 590. By May 2026, 127 UNRWA facilities fall behind the Israeli military line or in areas requiring special approval. Essential for researchers and journalists documenting Israeli ceasefire violations and the February 2026 crossing closure as a critical humanitarian turning point, with specific data on the collapse of aid volumes following Israeli-US military operations against Iran.
