A month after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire paused fighting in Gaza, the fragile truce is teetering as aid shortages, disputed boundaries, and sporadic violence threaten to unravel the deal. Here’s what you need to know. 🔍
Humanitarian Crisis Worsens
Despite promises of 600 aid trucks daily, only ~145 trucks entered Gaza in the truce’s first weeks—far below what’s needed for 2.1 million residents. 🚚❌ With winter approaching, displaced families face food shortages, damaged homes, and worn-out tents. The World Food Program warns deliveries are at half the required levels.
Ceasefire Tensions Flare
Israel accuses Hamas of delaying hostage remains handovers and diverting aid—claims Hamas denies. Airstrikes in late October killed over 100 people, including 46 children, sparking global outcry. 🚨 Though both sides continue prisoner swaps (20 hostages freed, 2,000 Palestinians released), trust remains thin.
The ‘Yellow Line’ Divide
Israeli forces have marked a yellow line in Gaza, controlling ~50% of the enclave. 🟡 This boundary—meant to keep troops out of urban areas—has become a flashpoint for disputes over displaced families’ return and freedom of movement.
What’s Next?
Trump’s 20-point peace plan, aiming for phased Israeli withdrawals and an international stabilization force, faces mounting challenges. Analysts warn delays could stretch the crisis for years. Can diplomacy save the truce? 🌍🤝
