JAKARTA - The United Nations (UN) on Friday (23/1) expressed horror at the killing of Palestinian civilians that is still happening in the Gaza Strip after the ceasefire.
Through a press release, the UN Human Rights Office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) expressed "horror at the continued killing of civilians in Israel's attacks on Gaza, including at least 11 Palestinians killed in the January 21 attack, amid a wider pattern of post-ceasefire violence and the ongoing impact of two years of destruction".
The UN agency stressed that "now is the time for the international community to increase support and pressure to stop the bloodshed and advance a rights-based approach to recovery and reconstruction".
"The crisis in Gaza is still not over. Every day people are killed, both in Israeli attacks and as a result of restrictions on access to humanitarian aid, especially refugees, which lead to deaths from cold weather and being hit by collapsed buildings. Palestinian journalists are killed, and foreign journalists are still banned from entering Gaza," said Ajith Sunghay, Head of Human Rights at the UN in OPT, as reported by ANTARA from WAFA, Saturday, January 24.
According to him, the trends that have been documented in the occupied territories since the implementation of the October 11, 2025 ceasefire include the killing of civilians in Israeli air raids, artillery shelling, and gunshots in the five Gaza provinces, including incidents far from and around the "yellow line".
Overall, 477 Palestinians, the majority of whom appear to be civilians, have been reported killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since the ceasefire, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
It said that since the ceasefire until January 21, 2026, at least 216 Palestinians have been killed, including at least 46 children and 28 women, in Israeli attacks far from the "yellow line", especially in internal displacement and residential buildings.
This includes 126 attacks reported by Israeli drones (UAVs) across Gaza, which resulted in the deaths of at least 87 Palestinians, including 12 children and seven women.
Furthermore, his party said that in the same period, at least 167 Palestinians, including 26 children and 17 women, were reported dead around the "yellow line".
"The frequent Israeli military operations in the area west of the withdrawal line have also forced civilians to flee and destroyed residential buildings in the area. More civilians have died as a result of the humanitarian conditions due to the terrible human actions, including at least nine children who died of hypothermia since the ceasefire," he said.
