Gaza Under the 'Peace Board': A Dangerous Reality for Children

• Since October 2025, Israel has killed over 1,100 Palestinians in Gaza, including 265 children, under the cover of a supposed ceasefire.
• Gaza has been identified by a UN independent investigation commission as the most dangerous place on earth for a child.
• Humanitarian conditions are critical: 2.3 million people are being squeezed into a shrinking territory, with Israel seizing 70% of Gaza land by late May 2026.
• Aid deliveries remain far below minimum requirements, with hospitals failing and widespread famine risks persisting.

Humanitarian Crisis and Confinement

• Large portions of the population live in tents under extreme 35°C heat, lacking basic shelter materials blocked by Israel.
• Israel’s control of territory expanded from 53% to 70% in months, with intentions declared by officials to reach 100%.
• The strategy involves confining civilians into small areas, described by reports as akin to concentration camps.

Impact on Children and Civilians

• Over 20,000 children have been killed, with 44,000 injured; children constitute one-third of the total Palestinian death toll.
• Evidence documents targeted killings of children by snipers and drone-mounted weapons, labeled by the UN as part of a strategy to destroy the biological continuity of Palestinian society.
• Acts of humanitarian service, such as setting up displays for public events, are met with fatal force by Israeli military personnel.

Failures of the 'Peace Board'

• Official progress reports claim aid has stabilized, ignoring that supplies remain below pre-war levels and are insufficient for the population.
• The governing "Peace Board" has pressured international bodies, such as the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), to alter counting criteria for fatalities to downplay the impact on journalists.
• Aid organizations are forced to choose between sharing sensitive staff data with the military or halting essential humanitarian operations.
