Most Palestinians remain displaced as Israeli attacks continue, military withdrawal stalls and Gaza’s promised recovery remains largely unfulfilled.

One year after a ceasefire took effect in Gaza, the agreement has secured the return of all Israeli captives, but its broader promises of peace, Israeli military withdrawal, Palestinian governance and reconstruction remain largely unfulfilled.

Millions of lives have been devastated by the conflict, and most of Gaza’s approximately 2.1 million residents remain displaced. Many are living in tents, damaged buildings or makeshift shelters surrounded by rubble, with reconstruction yet to begin on the scale needed to restore normal life.

The ceasefire took effect on October 10, 2025, following mediation by Egypt, Qatar, Türkiye and the United States. It was intended to establish a phased Israeli withdrawal, expand humanitarian assistance, introduce new governance arrangements and pave the way for rebuilding the war-ravaged territory.

However, continued attacks and disagreements over the agreement’s second phase have left its central objectives unfulfilled.

Captives returned, but attacks continue
