Israeli forces continue to systematically violate the ceasefire that was announced on October 10, 2025, through daily attacks on Gaza, while authorities continue to deliberately obstruct aid to the Strip, said Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) today.
While the intensity of the conflict has decreased since the ceasefire was announced six months ago, the reality in Gaza remains catastrophic. People are suffering and dying because they can’t access basic necessities, have been forced into poor living situations, and have few options for medical care amid a decimated health system.
Over the past six months since the October 10 ceasefire, at least 733 people have been killed and 1,913 have been injured, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health (figures as of April 8). Amid ever-expanding Israeli military control of the Gaza Strip, MSF teams have responded to multiple mass casualty incidents on a monthly basis, treating at least 244 patients for injuries caused by Israeli attacks, including many children.

Since the ceasefire, MSF teams have provided over 40,000 dressings for patients with wounds from violent trauma, including gunshots, blasts, or other kinds of weapons. In that same period, medical teams have treated over 15,000 trauma cases in MSF’s two field hospitals alone, both from recent injuries and wounds requiring long-term care. In MSF’s clinic in Gaza City, over 18,000 wound dressings were done, with over 60 percent for trauma wounds.
