A coalition of over 100 international humanitarian and human rights organizations has formally declared that the current ceasefire in Gaza is ineffective, describing it as existing 'in name only.' The groups argue that despite international calls for a cessation of hostilities, military actions continue to result in significant civilian casualties across the enclave.

In their joint statement, the NGOs highlighted that the humanitarian situation has not improved as expected under the terms of the ceasefire. They point to persistent restrictions on the movement of goods and people, which they claim are preventing essential aid from reaching those in need. The organizations emphasize that the continued military presence and ongoing strikes are undermining the fundamental purpose of the ceasefire, which was intended to provide relief to the civilian population.

While the report focuses on the failure of the ceasefire to provide safety, it does not detail specific responses from the Israeli government or military regarding these allegations. The NGOs are calling for immediate international intervention to ensure that the ceasefire is enforced and that humanitarian access is fully restored to prevent further loss of life. The coalition maintains that without a genuine shift in military policy and a lifting of aid blockades, the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza will continue to worsen.
