Nearly 400 Killed in Gaza Since October Truce Began

Despite a ceasefire agreement taking effect on October 10, violence in Gaza has continued. A new analysis states that nearly 400 Palestinians have been killed in the two months since the truce began. Historian Jean-Pierre Filiu reported the death toll in a recent column. The majority of Gaza's population still lives in dire humanitarian conditions. The ongoing casualties highlight the fragile nature of the pause in hostilities. The ceasefire was intended to stop the fighting and allow aid to reach civilians. The continued deaths raise serious questions about the agreement's effectiveness on the ground.
