Airstrikes, shootings, hypothermia: The harsh reality of life in Gaza under US-backed ceasefire

Despite a US-backed ceasefire in Gaza, Israeli military operations continue to cause devastating casualties. Sky News reports that over 400 people have been killed and 1,000 injured since the ceasefire began on October 10, 2025. Recent incidents include an Israeli strike on a school shelter that killed a five-month-old baby, and a 29-day-old infant who died from hypothermia in a family tent. The Israel Defense Forces have expanded their control zone, now covering 53-54% of Gaza's territory according to Euro-Med monitoring, with yellow demarcation lines shifting daily. Satellite imagery analyzed by Sky News shows IDF outposts extending 390-490 meters deeper into Gaza than officially mapped. Israel maintains a blockade on reconstruction materials, preventing rebuilding efforts in the devastated territory where 85% of buildings are damaged. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet US President Donald Trump to discuss the second phase of the peace plan and Israel's warfronts with Iran and Lebanon.
