According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, at least six people have been killed and another 26 injured in the enclave over the past 48 hours. The ministry said that since the ceasefire began in October 2025, at least 1,580 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks and another 5,711 people have been injured.

Statement by the UN Office

The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said that Israeli forces continue to push Palestinians into an increasingly smaller part of Gaza’s territory. The office also expressed concern about possible signs of ethnic cleansing and reported the destruction of civilian infrastructure.

According to the office, the Israeli military is working to expand control over 70% of Gaza’s territory following an order issued by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in May. Talks on a final end to the war under US President Donald Trump’s peace plan have reached an impasse amid disagreements between Hamas and Israel over its implementation.
