<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Since the Gaza ceasefire was signed last month, <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank">Israel</a> has continued to violate the agreement.</p>
<p>From air strikes and shootings to arrests and incursions beyond the deployment lines, most of the violations appear unprovoked.</p>
<p>Israel has cited alleged breaches by Hamas and other <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/palestine" target="_blank">Palestinian</a> groups to justify its actions.</p>
<p>Hamas, however, has denied the accusations, insisting it has fully complied with the terms of the ceasefire.</p>
<p>Many of the violations targeting civilians, meanwhile, have occurred without justification.</p>

<div class="field field-field-text"><p data-end="75" data-start="0">Gaza’s Government Media Office (GMO) says Israel continues to choke the flow of aid into the besieged enclave, accusing it of breaching the ceasefire agreement.</p>
<p data-end="630" data-start="274">Since the truce took effect on 10 October, an average of just 145 commercial and aid trucks have entered Gaza daily, only 24 percent of the 600 trucks agreed upon in the deal. Between 10 and 31 October, a total of 3,203 trucks crossed into Gaza, including 639 commercial vehicles, 2,564 carrying aid, 84 loaded with diesel fuel, and 31 with cooking gas.</p>
<p data-end="992" data-start="632">“We strongly condemn the Israeli occupation’s obstruction of aid and commercial trucks and hold it fully responsible for the worsening and deteriorating humanitarian situation faced by more than 2.4 million people in the Gaza Strip as a result of the ongoing siege and arbitrary measures that impede the flow of essential goods,” the GMO said in a statement.</p>
<p data-end="1348" data-is-last-node data-is-only-node data-start="994">It urged US President Donald Trump, the guarantor states, and mediators “to take immediate action to compel the Israeli occupation to implement what was signed, particularly the clause regarding the entry of humanitarian and relief aid without restrictions or conditions, in order to alleviate the escalating suffering of our people in the Gaza Strip.”</p>

Several countries formally recognised Palestinian statehood at #UNGA80 last month.
But what will it take to turn this into real justice, sovereignty & dignity, all of which remain absent for Palestinians?
