Average of five Palestinians killed by Israel every day in Gaza since ceasefire

The Gaza Centre for Human Rights said on Sunday that 642 Palestinians have been killed since a ceasefire agreement was reached in Gaza in October 2025, accusing Israel of continuing to violate the deal on a daily basis.

In a statement, the centre said the average number of people killed since the agreement stands at nearly five per day.

The victims include 197 children, 85 women and 22 elderly people, representing 47.2 percent of the total fatalities.

It added that 1,643 people have been wounded, at a daily average of approximately 12.3 injuries, including 504 children, 330 women and 89 elderly people, accounting for 56.1 percent of those injured.

The organisation said that cumulative data over the 133 days since the ceasefire was reached shows that Israeli forces have committed an average of 13.5 violations per day.

It said that Israel's actions were "emptying the agreement of its substance and turning it into cover for the continuation of aggression".

The centre said the figures reflect "a repeated pattern of targeting protected groups under international humanitarian law, particularly children and women", which it said amounted to serious violations of the Geneva Conventions and international law.

Violations are not limited to daily killings and bombardment but also include Israel’s failure to allow in 600 aid trucks per day as stipulated in the agreement, including 50 fuel trucks. These represent the minimum needs of the population of the Gaza Strip.

The centre said only 43 percent of the agreed number of trucks have been allowed to enter, while fuel deliveries have not exceeded 15 percent of the stipulated amount, leading to paralysis of basic services and delays in infrastructure repair.

It also cited the continued and arbitrary disruption of travel through the Rafah crossing. According to the centre, Israel has only allowed 40.3 percent of the agreed number of travellers through the crossing, in what it described as "a clear violation of freedom of movement and contractual obligations" under the ceasefire deal.

“All these data indicate that Israel continues to commit acts of genocide against the population of the Gaza Strip in multiple forms”, the centre said.

It said these actions are taking place "in a context devoid of any hostilities that could justify, even formally, these unilateral attacks".

The centre warned that the situation is unfolding amid what it called "troubling" international silence, entrenching a climate of impunity and sending the message that crimes can continue without accountability.

It also expressed concern over the absence of effective positions or interventions from transitional bodies established to manage Gaza in the current phase, including President Donald Trump's "Board of Peace" the associated National Committee for the Administration, saying this deepens the vacuum and leaves civilians without real protection.

The Gaza Centre for Human Rights called on the international community and the guarantors of the agreement to act urgently to halt violations, ensure compliance with international humanitarian law and open independent international investigations as a prelude to prosecuting those responsible before international courts.

It added that Israeli forces continue to target Palestinians in Gaza daily under various pretexts, including claims of threats to troops near the so-called yellow line, long-distance fire and drone strikes.
