Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) has warned that severe humanitarian conditions continue in Gaza nearly a year after a ceasefire was announced. The charity says Palestinians have continued to face deaths, displacement, attacks affecting healthcare and shortages of essential supplies.
Casualties and access
Citing Gaza’s Ministry of Health, MAP said more than 1,400 Palestinians had been killed and over 5,000 injured since the agreement was announced on October 10, 2025. It also said Israeli forces had advanced beyond the “Yellow Line” established under the agreement and now control around 70 percent of Gaza, leaving more than two million people in the remaining areas.
Hospitals remain under pressure
The charity cited World Health Organization figures recording 56 attacks on healthcare between January and August 2026, with 10 people killed and 49 injured. Of 57 hospitals and field hospitals, 35 were only partially functioning and none was fully operational, according to the figures MAP referenced. Shortages of medicines, fuel and medical supplies continue to limit care.
MAP called for a permanent ceasefire, unrestricted humanitarian access and support for investigations into attacks on healthcare. The casualty and facility figures are attributed to the organisations cited by MAP; the report presents the charity’s assessment of conditions and its policy demands.
