DaysofPal- Despite the declaration of a ceasefire on 19 January 2025, Israel continues to commit genocide in the Gaza Strip by denying Palestinians the basic necessities for survival and imposing conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction, Euro-Med for Human Rights revealed in a statement issued Friday.
Israel is not content with the mass killings and devastation it inflicted on Gaza over the past 15 months. Now, it is enforcing measures to effectively kill the population through an illegal, total siege that blocks the flow of basic supplies and humanitarian aid, prevents the repair of essential infrastructure, and denies services indispensable for survival.
Israel is fully aware of the catastrophic impact of its unlawful actions on Palestinians in Gaza, including the severe and lasting consequences for marginalized communities and people with critical medical conditions. Yet, in the absence of meaningful international pressure to end its ongoing crimes, these violations continue unabated.
Although the mass killings in Gaza have halted since the ceasefire, Israeli occupation forces continue to kill Palestinians without legal grounds, using false justifications.
Euro-Med Monitor has documented the killing of at least 110 Palestinians since the ceasefire, with an average of about six deaths per day. These victims include both new fatalities, killed directly by the IOF, and individuals who succumbed to their prior injuries after Israel denied the right to travel abroad for treatment. Additionally, 901 Palestinians have been injured since the ceasefire, averaging 47 injuries per day.
Thousands remain missing beneath the rubble, yet recovery efforts are still hampered by Israel’s deliberate delays in allowing the necessary equipment into the enclave. Recovery operations are currently being carried out with manual tools or basic equipment that is not suitable for dealing with thousands of tonnes of rubble. As of right now, 571 dead bodies have been recovered in the Strip, at a rate of 30 per day.
Since the ceasefire, only a handful of injured and ill Palestinians from Gaza have been permitted to travel abroad for treatment, leaving thousands at risk of death due to Israel’s ongoing denial of their right to receive treatment.
