Middle East: In the shadow of ongoing Zionist aggression—backed by the United States, enabled by Arab silence, and met with UN paralysis—the echoes of unending suffering continue to rise from the devastated Gaza Strip. Between the walls of prisons and the encampments of displacement, the threads of pain intertwine, revealing the story of a people facing a deliberately manufactured humanitarian catastrophe that persists beyond temporary truces and affects every aspect of life.

As families welcome their released detainees with joy mixed with fear, the fate of thousands of civilians in Gaza remains suspended between continuous bombardment and living conditions collapsing under the weight of cold, hunger, and disease. This report sheds light on the layers of this compounded tragedy, where humanity remains the greatest victim.

Humanitarian conditions in Gaza continue to deteriorate rapidly amid ongoing field violations by the Zionist enemy, alongside the severe economic and health crises caused by the military operations. This deterioration also extends to the situation of Palestinian detainees, who face harsh conditions even after their release.

Reports indicate that the field situation has not changed fundamentally since the ceasefire began. Violations by the Israeli enemy continue—sometimes intensifying, sometimes easing—but consistently persisting.

Explosions and gunfire from Zionist military vehicles remain a daily sound across various parts of the Strip, including the north and the eastern and southern regions. Rafah, in particular—east to west, north to south—has come under full Zionist control, lies completely destroyed, and remains inaccessible to its residents more than a year and a half after its occupation.

These areas continue to witness violations, including airstrikes, the destruction of remaining homes, and the reconstruction of these zones according to the so-called “Israeli security vision.” Palestinians continue to be targeted, with several killed or injured even outside the so-called “yellow line” buffer zone.

In the eastern areas of Khan Younis and Gaza City, major changes to the yellow-line boundary have led to additional land confiscation, the expansion of the buffer zone, and the forced displacement of residents who had returned, pushing them once again into uncertain exile.

Amid this field reality, the humanitarian crisis has deepened to catastrophic levels—especially with the onset of winter. The first rains and storms exposed the fragility of displacement camps, causing severe damage in only a few hours.

Most displaced families still lack new tents, winter blankets, or adequate humanitarian assistance due to ongoing Israeli restrictions. UN organizations continue to warn of dangerous health conditions, particularly for children increasingly vulnerable to winter illnesses under collapsing living conditions.

Economically, life in Gaza remains at its worst. Although limited goods have entered the commercial sector, the local economy has not revived. The economic collapse created by the war—now in its third year—continues unabated, fuelled by the occupation’s ongoing measures.

In every tent shaking under cold winds and every child staring at a torn roof, a desperate humanitarian cry emerges—echoing the stories of freed detainees returning to an unforgiving reality and families searching for safety beneath the ruins of their own cities.

This humanitarian disaster demands global action that goes beyond condemnation to real measures capable of saving lives and rebuilding what has been destroyed. Without such action, a permanent stain will remain on the conscience of the international community—while the cry from beneath the rubble continues to plead for freedom, justice, and a dignified life.
