One year after the ceasefire initiated in October 2025, residents of the Gaza Strip report minimal improvement in their living conditions, stating that life continues much as it did during conflict. Despite the agreement, widespread rehabilitation efforts have stalled, and a return to normalcy remains elusive for many. Many Gazans continue to reside in temporary tent settlements, highlighting the ongoing displacement crisis. A persistent fear of daily airstrikes further contributes to the sense of insecurity and instability. Residents express that responsibility for the stalled progress extends beyond Hamas and Israel, implying a broader failure of international support and accountability. The situation underscores a deepening humanitarian crisis within the Gaza Strip and raises concerns about the long-term viability of the ceasefire.
